Rip Van Winkle

  • by Washington Irving
  • in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., No. 1 (C. S. Van Winkle, June 1819)

Ah, poor man, Rip Van Winkle was his name, but it's twenty years since he went away from home with his gun, and never has been heard of since,—
With a long beard falling to his chest and a longer gun acroos his lap,
                Rip Van Winkle sits on the ground with his back to a large rock.

In the sky above a village that looks like a snow globe, James McDaniel (as
                Jack Epson) and two others smile.
