LITTLE GIRL, WHERE ARE YOU ' GOING? (Written for the Southland Times). Little girl, where are you gjing, Going when day. is so sweet ? See how the grass, dewy-laden, Little girl, wetteth your feet! Down to the bank of the river, Where waters go flowing forever. Little girl, why do you hurry, Hurry when day is so fair? See how the joy of the summer, Little girl, rideth the air! The sunshine is lighting the river; The waters will flow there forever. Little girl, will you not tarry, Tarry, for night cometh fast? See where the shadows are falling. Little girl, by the sun cast! Shadows will fall on the river; The waters will flow there forever. Little girl, are you still heart-whol®, Heart-whole, for I would love yout See in my eyes there is gleaming, Little girl, love that is true! My heart I will give to 4 the river; The waters will rock it forever. —Shaun O’Sullivaa. Invercargill, February 2,
