First Line: I climb a tree to bring them down
Last Line: Was wriggling like the thinnest worm.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Hedges
I climb a tree to bring them down --
The yellow eyes of my black kitten;
The laurel hedge that's left behind --
Whose shoulders measure three feet wide --
Is swaying lightly in the wind.
But when I looked from my high place,
With my black kitten safely tucked
From danger, under my left arm --
I saw that laurel's thick, broad back
Was wriggling like the thinnest worm.
