WHERE THE KITTEN SITS
HH there, where the kitten sits, is my regret, On, the painted wall by the gate and the fuchsia tree, Where, in a sunny doze, my skimpy pet Forgets the forest of scarlet beans Where she saw the lizard flit And the amorous lawns she'll Stalk in the nights to be — And hér yammering mew at the bright evasive tit, All snug in a numbskull world her trivial days are set; Oh there, where the kitten sits, is my regret.
