 Night has a thousand mysteries, not least
 This of a mighty city as it lies
 With thought, self-centered, intro- spective eyes
 That view its own mirage of work or feast
 Its pain and crime, it's love and hope
 and truth,
 Its holy joy, and it's unholy truth. It sees no outer beauty of the night.
 No royal stars that tread a stately

 Like men tense- spoken at a game of
 chance,
 Unconscious of eternity without.
