A DRAMA OF THE NIGHT
No sound was heard in the sleeping house Save the quiet tick of a busy clock, And a tiny squeak from a frightened mouse, As Tabby crept in the window. “Aha,” thought he, with the faintest purr, “Little Johnny’s bed is soft and warm, And nurse is asleep; I’ve outwitted her!” So Tabby crept in the window. No sound was heard till the early morn, When the birds began their joyful ' song, As the sky grew pink with the hush of dawn, And the sun crept in the window. Far, far away, in a pleasant dream. Our Tabby was eating Irish stew. But nurse came in with an scream, And Tabby flew out the window.
