All IN the gray mist up and down
Move the harbor craft OF Gotham town.
Under the broodns gray sky's fro~n.
And the purple hills OF tho PALISADES
Are lost In their own deep fog swep

As westward ever the vision fades.
Gray is the river and gray the sky:
And gray are the ferryboats that ply
Hither and thlther SO drearily.
But twinkIing harbo- lights IN the mist

Like dismonds set with amethyst;
And the whining silvery raindrops fan

or that her faith on earth wac dead when

For. always. there are humble ones who
drive the furfoved aisle
Through breathing lands OF spring in
whose mute heart she dwells the
while,
And there arc those who sweep q hearth.
or make the shuttles hy,
who midst their bounden labor can dis
Germ her standing by.
Our goddess 10 most free. OF an the old
olympian race,

her shrine TO place;
For even as he seeketh she othsrwhsrs

Ana never will she BIO within one narrow
precinct known.
And whose calls her name perchance
Alright he may not cali
She hath so many namesakes she hardly
owns name at ALL
