valley



the schoolhouse being
deserted
soon fell to
decay and was seen tied
to van tassels paling on a
windy day
with his
clothes bagging
and fluttering
about him one might
have served for
shovels
and

his gang

the
neighbors

looked upon
him
with the hilt a little valley
or
rather lap of land

among high hills which is more
generally and properly known
by the name of
major andres tree
