| A stray gipsyA. D. 1912 |
|
| THAT was the top of the walk, when he said: | |
Have you seen any others, any of our lot, | |
With apes or bears? A brown upstanding fellow | |
Not like the half-castes, up on the wet road near Clermont. | |
The wind came, and the rain, | 5 |
And mist clotted about the trees in the valley, | |
And Id the long ways behind me, gray Arles and Biaucaire, | |
And he said, Have you seen any of our lot? | |
|
Id seen a lot of his lot
ever since Rhodez, | |
Coming down from the fair of St. John, | 10 |
With caravans, but never an ape or a bear. | | |
