And just too plain to lie down on my mat.

He who would drink the wine of the girl of Ke-Mo

Needs a beautiful body and a lofty wit.

Song of Annam.

THE LITTLE WOMAN OF CLEAR RIVER

Clear River twists nine times about

Clear River; but so deep

That none can see the green sand.

You hear the birds about Clear River:

Dik, dik, dik, dik, Diu dik.
