GIRL'S SONG, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I saw three black pigs riding
Last Line: And throbbing through my heart.


I saw three black pigs riding
In a blue and yellow cart --
Three black pigs riding to the fair
Behind the old grey dappled mare --
But it wasn't black pigs riding
In a gay and gaudy cart
That sent me into hiding
With a flutter in my heart.

I heard the cart returning,
The jolting jingling cart --
Returning empty from the fair
Behind the old jog-trotting mare --
But it wasn't the returning
Of a clattering, empty cart
That sent the hot blood burning
And throbbing through my heart.
