Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a leap and flutter,
In there stepped a tiny kitten from the darkness at my door.
Not the least obeisance made she; not a moment paused or stayed she;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched upon my chamber doorโ
Perched upon the wooden molding just above my chamber doorโ
Perched, and mewed, and nothing more.
