Kitty and I

| Kitty and I written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Child Lovers", (1916) |
The gentle wind that waves
The green boughs here and there,
Is showing how my hand
Waved Kitty's finer hair.
The Bee, when all his joints
Are clinging to a Blossom,
Is showing how I clung
To Kitty's softer bosom.
The Rill, when his sweet voice
Is hushed by water-cresses,
Is Kitty's sweeter voice
Subdued by my long losses.
Those little stars that shine
So happy in the skies,
Are those sweet babes I saw,
Whose heaven was Kitty's eyes.
The Moon, that casts her beam
Upon the hill's dark crest,
Is Kitty's whiter arm
Across my hairy breast.
The hazel nuts, when paired
Unseen beneath the boughs,
Are Kitty and myself,
Whenever Chance allows.
