Twilight and sunset meet | B |
The green diaphanous dusk | C |
Sinks to the eager street | B |

Astray in the tangle of roofs | D |
Wanders a wind of June | E |
The dial shines in the clock tower | F |
Like the face of a strange scrawled moon | E |

The narrowing lines of the houses | A |
Palely begin to gleam | G |
And the hurrying crowds fade softly | H |
Like an army in a dream | G |

Above the vanishing faces | A |
A phantom train flares on | I |
With a voice that shakes the shadows | J |
Diminishes and is gone | K |

And I walk with the journeying throng | L |
In such a solitude | M |
As where a lonely ocean | N |
Washes a lonely wood | O |
