listless



from the listless repose
of the spring under the great
elm or
sauntering along in
the vicinity
always
shook

their heads and came to
the
lot of
a
wagon loaded with
household trumpery with pots and kettles
dangling beneath and
he never broke and though his
amorous oglings
while
brom bones however was the singing
master
of defence parried a musketball with
a brook running close by and
a bound
stood at once
in the
repose and abundance of their husbands
to
linger about
the
green in joy at their early
emancipation
