My Golden Little Cat

If my golden little cat could smile and talk Like we humans often do, He would boldly say to me; Please guide me near the sea Where I could find some fishermen observing The rapid movement of the tidal waves, Upon the mighty ocean. I could there enjoy some fish smoked By the native women who live along the coast: The sun of prosperity is brightly glowing; I could stretch myself in the moonlight By dusk. Lo,the night speedily hastens on And I could catch a mouse strolling upon the green grass Or worming its way to find shelter in a hole. Sing some lullabies so I could rest awhile Long before you retire to bed While I stay outdoor here To keep watch and play With our neighbor's young child.
