Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Rough with jagged bits of flint,
And jutting stones,
Old and cragged,

And struggling, slipping, often rudely hurled
Against the jutting angle of a wall,
And cursed, and reeled against, and flung aside

Where the red rocks from the margin
Jutting overhang the river. 50
There they lay in wait for Kwasind,

Where the red rocks from the margin
Jutting overhang the river.
There they lay in wait for Kwasind,

For twenty such knaves he should laugh but the bolder:
And so, with his sword-hilt gallantly jutting,
And dexter-hand on his haunch abutting,

I looked around, I thought I saw
A jutting crag, and oft’ I ran,
Head-foremost, through the driving rain,

Its shires and towns and rivers lined in varnished artistry—
And I mark a jutting height
Coloured purple, with a margin of blue sea.

To the right, jutting in,
a dark crimson corner of roof.

I looked around, I thought I saw
A jutting crag, and oft’ I ran,
Head-foremost, through the driving rain,
