her teens. her awkward form is clothed
in the exquisite silk and wooden mixed

down around the ears, then the hair is
parted and crimped, and few long
strands are left to fall at their own will,

braided. The braid is not tied, but the
ends are the inevitable curl. Occasion

Deep deep is the water. and no one who tries

And sorne-they look downward and shiver,
And some OF them smile as their shallop un-

They smile with their lips and they smile with

As they drift with the fow Of the river
As they drift and they sal toward the country

Afar from the shadows that CULVER

And darker, more dark than the river.
