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.

THE CAT<br />

Pussy-Willows<br />

I sometimes think <strong>the</strong> Pussy-Willows grey<br />

Are Angel Kittens who have lost <strong>the</strong>ir way,<br />

And every Bulrush on <strong>the</strong> river bank<br />

A Cat-Tail from some lovely Cat astray.<br />

Sometimes I think perchance that Allah may,<br />

When he created Cats, have thrown away<br />

The Tails he marred in making, and <strong>the</strong>y grew<br />

To Cat-Tails and to Pussy-Willows grey.<br />
