Minnow, go to sleep and dream, <br />Close your great big eyes; <br />Round your bed Events prepare <br />The pleasantest surprise. <br /> <br />Darling Minnow, drop that frown, <br />Just cooperate, <br />Not a kitten shall be drowned <br />In the Marxist State. <br /> <br />Joy and Love will both be yours, <br />Minnow, don't be glum. <br />Happy days are coming soon -- <br />Sleep, and let them come...<br /><br />Elizabeth Bishop<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lullaby-for-the-cat/
