Art thou he	A
The seer and sage the hero and lover yea	B
The man of men then away from the haughty	A
day	B
Come with me	A
	-
Ho ho to the night	C
The spangled night that would the noon outstare	D
Her skirts are fringed with light	C
She is girdled and crowned with gems of fire that flare	D
The city is dizzy with the thrill of her	D
Her shining eyes and shadowy floating hair	D
And curious winds her nebulous garments blur	D
Blowing her moon white limbs and bosom bare	D
	-
She beckons me	A
Down the deep street she goes to keep her tryst	E
Come come oh follow oh see	A
	-
The many windowed walls uprear so high	F
They dim and quiver and float away in mist	E
Tangling the earth and sky	F
And the pale stars go by	F
Like spirits masterful and still and strong	G
Dragging the heavy nets of life along	G
	-
Down in the deep	H
Lightly the nets enmesh us with the swarm	I
Of huddled human things that soft and warm	I
Beat out so close the pulses of their lives	J
We crowd and creep	H
We jostle and push out of our halls and hives	K
We chatter and laugh and weep	H
Ah do you hear	D
The choral of voices each the secret hiding	L
Do you see the warren of souls each one abiding	L
In separate solitude remote austere	D
	-
Here in the glare of the street we cling together	D
Against the warning darkness the still height Of the awful night	C
We blow like a feather	D
From hope to hope along the winds of fate	M
Importunate	M
The lettered lights that twinkle in and out	M
Lure us and laugh at us beckon and flout	M
Flashing their slangy symbols in our eyes	N
Blurting their gaudy lies	N
The bold shop windows flaunt their empty wares	O
Jewelled or tinselled shows of things	P
The fripperies and furnishings	P
Wherein stark life will stifle her shiverings	P
Ere forth in the dawn she fares	P
	-
Ah tyranny perilous	P
Vain shows that master us	P
See the gay girls fluttering wistfully	A
Where waxen dummies grin in gowns of lace	P
Watch yonder woman in black whose dimmed eyes see	A
Soft baby things folded with tender grace	P
And look at the children crowding and shouting there	D
Where dancing dolls jiggle and jerk and stare	D
They hover and cling	L
Possessed by signs and shadows of the thing	L
They moor their bark	Q
Close to the shore and fathom not the dark	Q
The dark that glooms afar	D
Beyond the invisible star	D
Beyond faith's boundaries	P
The plausible was and is	P
	-
Come ye adventurous	P
Open your hearts to us	P
You tiny newsboy calling extras there	D
Pitiful burden bearer pale with blight	M
What of the night	M
The sullen night that brings you little one	R
So heavy a load of care	D
While happier children sleep from sun to sun	R
And you wan youth haggard and spent	M
By mad thirst driven and rent	M
Thirst of the body thirst of the soul	S
To what dark goal	S
Does reeling night lead you her listless prey	D
To gorge you and slay	D
And hide forever from the searching day	D
And you furtive and flaunting girl	T
Whose heavy lidded eyes unfurl	T
Red signal fires the while demure	D
Your brooding lips deny their lure	D
Ah does the lewd night lash you to her cave	U
And will you never her ribald rage out brave	U
And rise no more forlorn	V
To greet the morn	V
	-
The street grows insolent	M
With cries of dark delight	M
And gestures impudent	M
It rends the robe of night	M
Up to the silent sky	F
It shouts the human cry	F
	-
The crowds push in and out	M
By all the open ways	P
Eager to stare and shout	M
At vaudeville waifs of plays	P
They drop their coins and laugh	W
At the wheezy phonograph	W
They hush for the noisy drone	X
Of the croaking megaphone	X
That litters life with jest	M
They pause that they may not go	Y
On life's eternal quest	M
They stifle truth with speech	Z
They mimic love with lust	M
For the glitter of gilt they reach	Z
And cover the gold with dust	M
They stoop to the din and glare	D
Who have the lofty night for comrade rare	D
They grope along the ground	M
Whose stature like the night with stars is crowned	M
	-
Oh piteous	P
Oh struggle vain	A2
Of puppets emulous	P
We strive and strain	A2
To forge for our limbs a chain	A2
Come thou deep hearted Night so dark and bright	M
Come holy Night come lawless dissolute Night	M
Come human Night hushing thy dreams divine	B2
Give me thy dreams O Night they shall be mine	B2
Mine and this beggar's though we lie to thee	A
Mine and this harlot's though from thee we	A
flee Mine and this worldling's though with might and right	M
We hide them from our sight	M
Thy shadowed eyes the truth behold and we	A
We too shall know the truth and so be free	A
Even now yea now	C2
Through lies and vanities we pry and peer	D
Even now we bow	C2
At little shrines where pale fires flicker and fleer	D
Hark in the echoing street	M
The drums that bang and beat	M
Where the curb stone preachers tell	D2
The way to heaven and hell	D2
Look in yon window there	D
A man through a glass astare	D
At atoms and embryos	P
The source whence all life flows	P
Search the beginning and end	M
We may not choose but follow	Y
Yes you and I and these	P
The fume of the noisome hollow	Y
The gleam of the Pleiades	P
Wherever one goes in quest	M
With his quest we are cursed or blest	M
And the street with its blazing mockery of	E2
noon Leads on to the quiet stars to the lofty moon	F2
	-
The little lights go out now row on row	Y
The dim crowds glide away	D
The shadowed street	M
Pillars the vaulted sky	F
And Night proud Night	M
Rapt in her dreams with stately tread and slow	Y
Patrols the drowsy world O friend complete	M
How may we read her deep delight aright	M
	-
Art thou he	A
The seer and sage the hero and lover yea	D
The man of men then even to the gates of day	D
Lead thou me	A
