Down to Fruitport before it is dark

Come, said Alice, Joan of Arc.

Farmers, butchers, cobblers, dentists,

Lawyers, doctors, preachers, druggists

Hustled and ran in the afternoon,

Following Alice who led the way

Chanting an ancient roundelay,

A wild and haunting tune.

Her hair streamed over her little shoulders

Back in the wind for all beholders.
