become a wife,
Before her husband sought to make her
The pink of country polished life,
And prim and formal as a Quaker.
One day the tutor went abroad,
And simple Jenny sadly missed him;
When he returned, behind her lord
She slyly stole, and fondly kissed him.
The husband's anger arose--and red
And white his face alternate grew.
"Less freedom, ma'am!"--Jane sighed and said,
"Oh dear! I didn't know 'twas you!"
_A Book about Indians, Animals, and the Woods_
Kuloskap, the Master
AND OTHER ALGONKIN LEGENDS AND POEMS
By Charles Godfrey Leland, F.R.S.L., _and_ John Dyneley Prince, Ph.D.
In the first four cantos are told the legends of the Indian god,
Kuloskap, narrating how he created the Indians' world, cared for the
interests of his children, dealt with the animal kingdom, and punished
the sorcerers. Following these cantos will be found the witchcraft lore,
lyrics, and miscellany. The stories take the reader into the heart of
nature. In the innermost recesses of the forest he follows the strange
doings of wizards, goblins, and witches, and revels in such exquisite
lyrics as those that tell of "The Scarlet Tanager and the Leaf," "The
Story of Nipon the Summer," "Lox, the Indian Devil," "The Song of the
Stars," and others.
_Dan Beard_ says: "It is the American Indian's 'King Arthur's Round
Table,' 'Robin Hood,' and 'The Arabian Nights.'"
_Ernest Thompson-Seton_ says: "... Priceless, unique,
irreplaceable."
_San Francisco Bulletin_: "It is a valuable contribution to the
folk-lore of the world, and of intense interest."
_The Independent_: "... Dainty in its woodsy freshness ... has the
same beauty as the Norse myths."
