Chapter 21
folk song back she came through the trembling dusk and her mother spoke and said what is it makes you late to-day and why do you smile and sing as gay as though you just were wed oh mother my hen that never had chicks has hatched out six back she came through the flaming dusk and her mother spoke and said what gives your eyes that dancing light what makes your lips so strangely bright and why are your cheeks so red oh mother the berries i ate in the lane have left a stain back she came through the faltering dusk and her mother spoke and said you are weeping your footstep is heavy with care what makes you totter and cling to the stair and why do you hang your head oh mother oh mother you can never know i loved him so this recording is in the public domain
