MAERCHEN
SOUNDLESS the moth-flit, crisp the death-watch tick;Crazed in her shaken arbour bird did sing;Slow wreathed the grease adown from soot-clogged wick:The Cat looked long and softly at the King.Mouse frisked and scampered, leapt, gnawed, squeaked;Small at the window looped cowled bat a-wing;The dim-lit rafters with the night-mist reeked:The Cat looked long and softly at the King.O wondrous robe enstarred, in night dyed deep:O air scarce-stirred with the Court's far junketing:O stagnant Royalty—A-swoon? Asleep?The Cat looked long and softly at the King.

SOUNDLESS the moth-flit, crisp the death-watch tick;
Crazed in her shaken arbour bird did sing;
Slow wreathed the grease adown from soot-clogged wick:
The Cat looked long and softly at the King.
Mouse frisked and scampered, leapt, gnawed, squeaked;Small at the window looped cowled bat a-wing;The dim-lit rafters with the night-mist reeked:The Cat looked long and softly at the King.
