Little Four Paws lyrics
by e. e. cummings
why did you go
little fourpaws?
you forgot to shut
your big eyes
where did you go?
like little kittens
are all the leaves
which open in the rain
little kittens who
are called spring
is what we stroke
maybe asleep?
do you know?or maybe did
something go away
ever so quietly
when we weren't looking
