Adapted from Tolkien's "Lament of the Rohirrim"
*Where now the cat and the kitten?*
*Where is the ball that was bouncing?*
*Where is the brush and the collar,*
*And the red fur flowing?*
*Where is the paw on the shoulder,*
*And the small mouth meowing?*
*Where is the bird and the rodent*
*And the tall tail flying?*
*They have passed like rain in the garden,*
*Like dreams in the morning.*
*The days have gone past in my house, the cat bed is empty.*
*Who shall collect the tufts of hair that have gathered,*
*Or wipe dry the flowing tears from a lonely pawther?*
