Subject(s): Calves; Heaven; Religion; Paradise; Theology


Here in my little hamlet, three most marvelous animals there be, three little
calves, three treasures small, white marked with yellow are they all.

Couched on the daisy-dotted leas, like plutocrats they rest at ease, and when I
pass them, slow or fleet, follow the cadence of my feet.

So much that, reading yestere'en Francis of Sales, whom I rave about; yes, the
introduction rare, supreme, and so tender, to the Life Devout,

going and coming, diligent the well-known path to tread once more, feeling a
virgin sentiment born in my soul, a pang obscure,

they marked with gently-swaying head the cadence of my pious tread: three little
calves, their gaze intent on me, as to Gambaiseuil I went:

Lamb of God, on the road to Paradise, Elysian hazel-nuts to get, may there
follow me the sweet, dark eyes of the little calves of Les Haizettes.
