Ezra Pound - The Baby lyrics

The baby new to earth and sky Has never until now Unto himself the question put Or asked us if the cow Is higher in the mental scale Than men like me and you, Or if the cow refrains from food Till she finds work to do. 'The baby new to earth and sky,' As Tennyson has written, Just goes ahead and s**s a teat Like to-day's great men in Britain.
