A Very Small Cat
A very small girl,
And a very small cat,
Went to the garden
And sat, and sat.
They sat by the quince bush
That grandmother bought.
Each looked at a white rose,
And thought, and thought.
They stared at the garden,
But there was not heard
All afternoon
A mew or a word.
A tinkly bell rang;
It broke their dream;
They went to get supper,
And a saucer of cream.
