I WOULD LIKE YOU FOR A COMRADE

Little Girl. I would like you for a comrade, for I love you, that I do,
I never met a little calf as amiable as you;
I would teach you how to dance and sing and how to talk and laugh,
If I were not a little girl and you were not a calf.

Little Calf. I would like you for a comrade; you should share my barley meal
And butt me with your little horns just hard enough to feel;
We would lie beneath the chestnut trees and watch the leaves uncurl,
If I were not a clumsy calf and you a little girl.

Judge Parry.
