" There are one or two things I should just like to hint, For you don t often get the truth told you in print ; The most of you (this is what strikes all beholders) Have a mental and physical stoop in the shoulders ; Though you ought to be free as the winds and the waves, You ve the gait and the manners of runaway slaves ; Though you brag of your New World, you don t half be lieve in it ; And as much of the Old as is possible weave in it ; Your goddess of freedom, a tight, buxom girl, With lips... like a cherry and teeth like a pearl, With eyes bold as Here s, and hair floating free, And full of the sun as the spray of the sea, A FABLE FOR CRITICS 69 Who can sing at a husking or romp at a shearing, Who can trip through the forests alone without fear- in g< Who can drive home the cows with a song through the grass, Keeps glancing aside into Europe s cracked glass, Hides her red hands in gloves, pinches up her lithe waist, And makes herself wretched with transmarine taste ; She loses her fresh country charm when she takes Any mirror except her own rivers and lakes.
