And then. tossing back her curls,
''Boys are weak as well as girls"
Do you think that Katie guessed

Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts doh't change much after all;
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside the brook.

Is it strange that Willie said,
While again dash Of red
Crossed the brownness of his cheek
Il am strong and you are weak;

Hung with shadows cold and deep;

Now that the blood Of Southern

her craven spirit.
How distinct is the contrast be.

their brave FoRsYrH, were water
