Her "Very glad, I'm sure," was uttered with reservations
Blacksheep! Blacksheep! BY MEREDITH NICHOLSON ILLUSTRATED BY LESLIE L. BENSON NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1920
Maybe, in spite of their tameless days
Of outcast liberty,
They're sick at heart for the homely ways
Where their gathered brothers be.
*****
Meanwhile, "Blacksheep! Blacksheep!" we cry,
Safe in the inner fold;
And maybe they hear, and wonder why,
And marvel, out in the cold.
—Richard Burton.
