She told how they used to form for the country dances	B
The Triumph The New rigged Ship	C
To the light of the guttering wax in the panelled manses	B
And in cots to the blink of a dip	C
	-
She spoke of the wild poussetting and allemanding	D
On carpet on oak and on sod	E
And the two long rows of ladies and gentlemen standing	D
And the figures the couples trod	E
	-
She showed us the spot where the maypole was yearly planted	F
And where the bandsmen stood	G
While breeched and kerchiefed partners whirled and panted	H
To choose each other for good	G
	-
She told of that far back day when they learnt astounded	H
Of the death of the King of France	B
Of the Terror and then of Bonaparte's unbounded	H
Ambition and arrogance	B
	-
Of how his threats woke warlike preparations	B
Along the southern strand	I
And how each night brought tremors and trepidations	B
Lest morning should see him land	I
	-
She said she had often heard the gibbet creaking	D
As it swayed in the lightning flash	J
Had caught from the neighbouring town a small child's shrieking	D
At the cart tail under the lash	J
	-
With cap framed face and long gaze into the embers	B
We seated around her knees	B
She would dwell on such dead themes not as one who remembers	B
But rather as one who sees	B
	-
She seemed one left behind of a band gone distant	K
So far that no tongue could hail	L
Past things retold were to her as things existent	K
Things present but as a tale	L
