sadness as if bordering on "days long van

as if somebody down in the coal vaults
would hear their footsteps and send them
home again. Even those, who in times
gone by, used to walk with gladstone face

Chestnut street, gliding along with needless

be he who set his heel so firmly down on
Gotham's pavements, and as he passed along
