I climb a tree to bring them down -
   The yellow eyes of my black kitten;
The laurel hedge that left behind -
   Whose shoulders measure three feet wide -
Is swaying lightly in the wind.

But when I looked from my high place,
   With my black kitten safely tucked
From danger, under my left arm -
   I saw that laurel's thick, broad back
Was wriggling like the thinnest worm.
