ELIZABETH BISHOP - "Lullaby for the Cat"
Minnow, go to sleep and dream,
close your great big eyes;
Round your bed Events prepare
The pleasantest surprise.
Darling Minnow, drop that frown,
Just cooperate,
Not a kitten shall be drowned
In the Marxist State.
Joy and Love will both be yours,
Minnow, don’t be glum.
Happy days are coming soon—
Sleep, and let them come…
