Has it in her power again; Now she works with three or four, Like an Indian conjuror; Quick as he in feats of art, Far beyond in joy of heart. Were her antics play'd in the eye Of a thousand standers-by, Clapping hands with shout and stare, What would little Tabby care For the plaudits of the crowd ? Over happy to be proud, Over wealthy in the treasure Of her own exceeding pleasure 30 THE CAT William Wordsworth.

THE CAT Pussy-Willows I sometimes think the Pussy-Willows grey Are Angel Kittens who have lost their way, And every Bulrush on the river bank A Cat-Tail from some lovely Cat astray. Sometimes I think perchance that Allah may, When he created Cats, have thrown away The Tails he marred in making, and they grew To Cat-Tails and to Pussy-Willows grey. 31 Oliver Herford.

Has it in her power again;<br />

Now she works with three or four,<br />

Like an Indian conjuror;<br />

Quick as he in feats of art,<br />

Far beyond in joy of heart.<br />

Were her antics play'd in <strong>the</strong> eye<br />

Of a thousand standers-by,<br />

Clapping hands with shout and stare,<br />

What would little Tabby care<br />

For <strong>the</strong> plaudits of <strong>the</strong> crowd ?<br />

Over happy to be proud,<br />

Over wealthy in <strong>the</strong> treasure<br />

Of her own exceeding pleasure<br />
