Oh, to be a little bird
Singing in the morning rain
All alone in golden skies
Nature's voice is yours to gain

Oh, to be a graceful cat
Lurking in the quiet night
All alone on peaceful paths
Nearly starved and full of sleight

Oh, alas, to be a God
To create both cats and birds
Tell me, how should I decide
Whom the higher justice hurts
