“On the beach at night,
Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.
Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”

“My little ‘bout-town gal has gone
‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
On her pale lids....”
