Excerpt from Our Dancing Days The Mocking-Bird I These are the favors of our dancing days, I cannot keep them separate, and these The tragic figures stealing back to take Their places in the pretty twelve that made Our last cotillion famous: here they are. The Figure of the Tally-Ho was first. For that began it: Georgia perched with me High on the last seat of the crowded deck And highest, over a ship of children, yes, The crew from the old towns and all the years The last time gathered for a perfect play, Bound for the Country Club to dance night out. We made it brave adventure, worth the while, A galleon cruise, a caravel crowding back Into the purple, while our storied huge Journeying chariot rumbled under us To trotting castanets, the sixteen hooves, Out to the country and the stars, till now The city made a moonset in the west Like what the true moon yet unrisen made About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
