Cat and Crocuses
by Eva Martin.
In the crocus-bed I saw her,
Like a queen enthroned she sat.
Yellow crocuses shone round her -
Royal, sun-illumined cat :
Orange eyes intensely lighted
By a vivid golden flame:
Fire of spring that burnt within her,
And in every flower the same.
World-surveying world-contented,
Seated in her crocus-ring:
Cat and crocuses together
Basking in the fires of spring.
