See the kitten on the wall,
Sporting with the leaves that fall!
Withered leaves—one, two, and three—
From the lofty Elder-tree!
—See the kitten! how she starts,
Crouches, stretches, paws, and darts,
First at one, and then its fellow,
Just as light and just as yellow!
Such a light of gladness breaks,
Pretty kitten, from thy freaks,
