Disturbers of the Peace

E.B. White, Disturbers of the Peace:
The cows lie sweetly by the pond,
  At ease, at peace (except for flies);
The glassy morning waves its wand
  And bids the summer day arise.

Arise, O pesky day, arise!
  The peaceful cow, with flies to bother,
The dog his worms, the hen her lice,
  And Man—Man his eternal brother.
