Christopher Smart was a major contributor to two popular magazines and a friend to influential cultural icons like Samuel Johnson and Henry Fielding. Smart, a high church Anglican, was widely known throughout London.

The poem is chiefly remembered today – especially among cat lovers – for the 74-line section where Smart extols the many virtues and habits of his cat, Jeoffry.

The poem was not published until 1939, by William Force Stead. In 1943, lines from this poem were set to music by Benjamin Britten with the translated title ‘Rejoice in the Lamb’.

Perfect for all year round in the garden, hanging from trees, fixed to a wall or fence. Even perfect for Christmas hanging from your tree or the mantlepiece. Why not hang inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year?
