The girl walked on up the highway
with lifting stride, now and then
laughing to herself. or running a few
steps, occasionally stopping by some
hedge to pull leaf which she rubbed
against her cheek, smelling it's keen
new scent, or stopping to gaze out
scross the orange-green belts of sun
ny wfnd-dimpled fields, one hand push
ing back her mutinous hair from her
brow, the other shielding her eyes.
Farther on the highroad looped around
a strip of young forest, and she struck
into this for short cut in the depth
she sat down to rest on the sun
splashed roots of tree. Leaning back
against the scanned trunk, her felt hat

She petted and fondled the smooth

to herself, she pulled one of the roses
from her belt, and twisting wisp of
long grass, wound it round and round

she said, and pushed him gently from
