On the rising ground that slopes gently to
the north of the shallow and grassy creek at
Spuyten Duyvil, and overlooking the waters
Of the Hudson, with its busy craft on the
west, a little rosy checked maiden one bright
afternoon not long ago was driving a flock
Of geese before her with n long slender
switch. Her disorderly tresses blowing in
the fresh breeze that came up from the shore
looked like mass of golden fax, waving and
glistening in the warm August sunlight. The
geese themselves were rather a detected and

proved herself most attentive guardian to
such an uninviting company. She hurried
here and there among her refractory charges
with never firing pace; driving reluctant
ones from occasional puddles beside the path

and restricting those who now and then
stopped to settle certain disputes that arose
between them from fighting it out She told
me that the geese belonged to her papa-an
