In the Tale

In the Tale

the Lady returns
dwelling beneath the lake

In one version
the Lady calls four oxen
miles away the oxen
dragged the plough
and gash the land
said to be clearly visible.

A woman claimed to recall
people gathered at the lake
the first Sunday of August to see
whether the water would boil
an indication that
the Lady would appear

here again a woman
is both water and plough
