In the cool of the night timeA
The clocks pick off the pointsB
And the mainsprings loosenC
They will need windingD
One of these daysE
they will need windingD
-
Rabelais in red boardsF
Walt Whitman in greenG
Hugo in ten cent paper coversH
Here they stand on shelvesI
In the cool of the night timeA
And there is nothingD
To be said against themJ
Or for themJ
In the cool of the night timeA
And the docksK
-
A man in pigeon gray pyjamasK
The open window begins at his feetL
And goes taller than his headM
Eight feet high is the patternN
-
Moon and mist make an oblong layoutO
Silver at the man's bare feetL
He swings one foot in a moon silverP
And it costs nothingD
-
One more day of bread and workQ
One more day so much ragsK
-
The man barefoot in moon silverP
Mutters You and YouR
To things hiddenC
In the cool of the night timeA
In Rabelais Whitman HugoS
In an oblong of moon mistT
-
Out from the window prairielandsK
Moon mist whitens a golf groundU
Whiter yet is a limestone quarryV
The crickets keep on chirringS
-
Switch engines of the Great WesternN
Sidetrack box cars make up trainsK
For Weehawken Oskaloosa SaskatchewanW
The cattle the coal the corn must goS
In the night on the prairielandsK
-
Chuff chuff go the pulsesK
They beat in the cool of the night timeA
Chuff chuff and chuff chuffX
These heartbeats travel the night a mileY
And touch the moon silver at the windowS
And the hones of the manZ
It costs nothingS
-
Rabelais in red boardsK
Whitman in greenG
Hugo in ten cent paper coversK
Here they stand on shelvesK
In the cool of the night timeA
And the clocksK
