And Mother Superior, I make no doubt,

Will teach her scores of neatly turned devotions

Couched in diminutives and pastoral terms,

(Lord, how I hate the literary prayer),

Little white lambs indeed—O baa baa black sheep

Have you any wool?—And Rachel in return

Flushing with shame impetuously confesses,

And holds half back, but crafty eyes are watching

To drag all out, so Rachel has to tell

How on the river bank one morning early
