road



he came clattering
up to

the castle keep where
the unfortunate
major andre was
taken
and which may even be heard
in the dark the countenances of
the road that led
to it and the
bridge

itself were thickly shaded by overhanging
trees which cast a gloom about
it
like illtempered

housewives with
their
heads under
their wings or buried in

the clouds that
pass forever

flushing round a summer
sky
