BROADWAY LAMENT

Who walk down scented highways Of the
night, w.
And few can know the hidden dream we seek,
And none can swerve our path from LETT
to right;
Singers of songs-our lutes are rayed and
frail,
Drinkers of wine-our threats are ever dry,
ALI of our vows are gossamer and pale,
ALI Of our roses live a day-and die.
Born out of time, we make our way alone
Stopping at Inns where Sorrow is the host
Those who have felt our lips against their own
Hear in their hearts the whisper OF ghost;
We are the weak for whom the game is lost
And those who cross our patn-muSt pay
the cost!-Don VAIN
