\nIn knyn as kening fan de skimen<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

De dregens en tink nei oan de ein fan de dei,
\nAs it foarmleaze skaad de sinne oerdekt
\nEn der oars neat bleaun is as ljocht op dyn facht \u2013<\/p>\n

Der wie de kat dy\u2019t de hiele dei syn molke motte,
\nKat grou, tonge read, geast grien, molke wyt,
\nEn augustus de meast fredefolle moanne.<\/p>\n

Te w\u00eazen, yn it gers, yn de fredefolste tiid,
\nS\u00fbnder dat monumint fan in kat,
\nDe kat fergetten yn de moanne;<\/p>\n

En te fielen dat it ljocht in knineljocht is,
\nW\u00earyn\u2019t alles bedoeld is foar dy
\nEn neat \u00fatlis nedich hat;<\/p>\n

Dan is der neat om te oertinken. It komt \u00fat himsels;
\nEn east stoot nei west en west stoot nei \u00fbnderen,
\nLet neat. It gers is fol<\/p>\n

En fol fan dysels. It beamte r\u00fbnom is foar dy,
\nDe nachtlike wrydskens is hielendal foar dy,
\nIn sels dat alle r\u00e2nen rekket,<\/p>\n

Do wurdst in sels dat de nachtwynstreken follet.
\nDe reade kat kr\u00fbpt ferside yn it fachtljocht
\nEn dan wurdsto heech hyst, ophyst,<\/p>\n

Heger en heger wurdst hyst, swart as stien \u2013
\nDo sitst mei dyn kop as fykwurk yn it hielal
\nEn de lytse griene kat is in krobbe yn it gers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Rabbit as King of the Ghosts<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

The difficulty to think at the end of day,
\nWhen the shapeless shadow covers the sun
\nAnd nothing is left except light on your fur \u2013<\/p>\n

There was the cat slopping its milk all day,
\nFat cat, red tongue, green mind, white milk
\nAnd August the most peaceful month.<\/p>\n

To be, in the grass, in the peacefullest time,
\nWithout that monument of cat,
\nThe cat forgotten in the moon;<\/p>\n

And to feel that the light is a rabbit-light,
\nIn which everything is meant for you
\nAnd nothing need be explained;<\/p>\n

Then there is nothing to think of. It comes of itself;
\nAnd east rushes west and west rushes down,
\nNo matter. The grass is full<\/p>\n

And full of yourself. The trees around are for you,
\nThe whole of the wideness of night is for you,
\nA self that touches all edges,<\/p>\n

You become a self that fills the four corners of night.
\nThe red cat hides away in the fur-light
\nAnd there you are humped high, humped up,<\/p>\n

You are humped higher and higher, black as stone \u2013
\nYou sit with your head like a carving in space
\nAnd the little green cat is a bug in the grass.<\/p>\n
