Outside my house [ Rondeau ]

Outside my house, a kitten plays.
It chases birds throughout the days.
At times, it scratches up its ear
until it sees me coming near
Then like a sun that spreads its rays

Throughout the yard without delays,
And always comes but never stays,
The kitten comes to disappear
-------------------- outside my house.

And then again, it finds its ways
to come and chase the birds, always!
Until it sees me close and clear
Then it begins to run in fear
towards its many hideaways
----------------------- outside my house.
