00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840 align:middle line:90%
Apprentice to the dance.

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.800 align:middle line:84%
Does this splay footed girl
wish to dance, crane hop,

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:84%
gog-prance? Then her
mild expression hides a summer

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:13.500 align:middle line:90%
hot passion.

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:15.870 align:middle line:90%
She is Mrs. Gossport's child.

00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:19.590 align:middle line:84%
They are making efforts
to correct her stance.

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:23.490 align:middle line:84%
They believe there will emerge
from those thin shoulder blades

00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:27.090 align:middle line:84%
controls like those of
a wire pulled puppet.

00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:29.310 align:middle line:84%
Imagine some dirge
like background

00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:32.490 align:middle line:84%
melody surges to
crescendo, fades.

00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:36.750 align:middle line:84%
And where your eyes converge
at white spotlight and fantasy,

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:39.580 align:middle line:90%
that skinny dancer waves.

00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:42.700 align:middle line:84%
Spectacled half chick
in a skimpy coat,

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:46.870 align:middle line:84%
hopping by rain filled moat,
the flooded gutter, with heat

00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:48.100 align:middle line:90%
turned inward.

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.400 align:middle line:84%
Who can hurl her past
Mrs. Gossport's grasp

00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:53.920 align:middle line:90%
and her own tongue's stutter?

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.520 align:middle line:84%
Here we see her
coaxing twigs to float.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.630 align:middle line:84%
What body twisting giant
can take each limb of hers

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:05.230 align:middle line:84%
and suffer it to
say, I am love's tool?

00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:08.710 align:middle line:84%
Her pale, defiant
eyes reflect the whim

00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:13.500 align:middle line:84%
of muddy stream along the
guttered walk to school.

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.000 align:middle line:90%
