BY NIGHT.

BY NIGHT.
In serried ranks the black roofs
loom
Against the Iurfd sky,
Below, the blaze of garish lights
Grim hosts of night defy,
Where endless, through the meas
ured hours,
A human swarm drifts by.
A human swarm shifts endlessly
Through thoroughfares of fire.
AS each one to his goal impelled
Pursues the fools desire;
While desolate, a House of God
Uplifts a lonely spire.
On far lit avenues they seem,
To one upon the hight,
Like clouds of crazed, bewildered
things,
Lured by dazzling light,
That beats scorched wings mo-
ment's space
Then fall into the night.
Some speed them out on eager feet
With Pleasure for their quest,
And some flee bitter Memory
Where Grief and Torture rest;
But at the board where each drinks
deep
Death sits silent guest.
In serried ranks the black roofs
frown
On thoroughfares of fire
Where through the night human
swarm
Pursued the fools desire;
While like swift ghosts the gray
bats wheel
Around a lonely spire.
