BACK FROM THE CITY OF SLEEP

Over the edge OF the purple down,
Where the single lamp-light CLEANS,
Know We the road 10 the Merciful Town
That is hard by the Sea OF Dreams
Where the poor may lay their wrongs
away,
And the rich may forget to weep?
But we-pity US! On. pity us,
We wakeful: ali, pity US!
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City Of Sleep!
Weary they turn from the scroll and
crown,
Fetter and prayer and plow-
They that go up TO the Merciful Town,
For the gates are closing now.
II is their right in the baths OF Night
Body and soul to steep;
But we-pity US! ah, pity us!
we wakeful: oh, pity US
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City OF Sleep.
over the edge OF the purple down,
Ere the tender dreams begin.
Iook-we may look-at the Merciful Town,
But we may not enter in.
Outcasts all. from her guarded wall
Back 10 our watch we creep:
We-pity US! ali pity us
We wakeful: oh. pity u.s.
We that go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City OF Sleep.
