On a pensive lake in a lonesome v a lley sat a little girl Her tiny fingers buried in strands of silken gold Lashed eyes sat weeping flicker the faint tint of blue Feeling forgotten as only little girls can do Knees bend high and laced feet at rest How she weaped from her skirted nest But up from hillside came a lonesome cat mewling his sorrow Searching for his friends but found no brother no mother all is lost in the wind But furried nose did wrinkle a little blond duck scared and wrinkled It thought like most animals do what an ugly thing covered in so little hair It must be lonely and in need of care It cried amd mewled and sang its welcome song Little duck grew startled but soon to relax It was only kitten at last she could laugh
