First Line: Within that porch, across the way
Last Line: I'm not so sure a body's there!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Animals; Cats


WITHIN that porch, across the way,
I see two naked eyes this night;
Two eyes that neither shut nor blink,
Searching my face with a green light.

But cats to me are strange, so strange --
I cannot sleep if one is near;
And though I'm sure I see those eyes,
I'm not so sure a body's there!
