lullaby for the cat

• elizabeth bishop'ın 1937'de yayınlanan bir şiiri.
  
  minnow, go to sleep and dream,
  close your great big eyes;
  round your bed events prepare
  the pleasantest surprise.
  
  darling minnow, drop that frown,
  just cooperate,
  not a kitten shall be drowned
  in the marxist state.
  
  joy and love will both be yours,
  minnow, don't be glum.
  happy days are coming soon--
  sleep, and let them come...
