Lullaby For The Cat

Elizabeth Bishop

Minnow, go to sleep and dream,
  Close your great big eyes;
Round your bed Events prepare
  The pleasantest surprise.

Darling Minnow, drop that frown,

Not a kitten shall be drowned

  Minnow, don't be glum.
Happy days are coming soon--
  Sleep, and let them come...
