I	A
	-
I have discovered that most of	B
the beauties of travel are due to	C
the strange hours we keep to see them	D
	-
the domes of the Church of	B
the Paulist Fathers in Weehawken	E
against a smoky dawn the heart stirred	F
are beautiful as Saint Peters	G
approached after years of anticipation	E
	-
II	A
	-
Though the operation was postponed	H
I saw the tall probationers	G
in their tan uniforms	I
hurrying to breakfast	J
	-
III	A
	-
and from basement entries	K
neatly coiffed middle aged gentlemen	L
with orderly moustaches and	M
well brushed coats	N
	-
IV	B
	-
and the sun dipping into the avenues	O
streaking the tops of	B
the irregular red houselets	O
and	M
the gay shadows drooping and drooping	P
	-
V	B
	-
and a young horse with a green bed quilt	Q
on his withers shaking his head	R
bared teeth and nozzle high in the air	S
	-
VI	B
	-
and a semicircle of dirt colored men	T
about a fire bursting from an old	U
ash can	V
	-
VII	B
	-
and the worn	W
blue car rails like the sky	B
gleaming among the cobbles	O
	-
VIII	B
	-
and the rickety ferry boat Arden	E
What an object to be called Arden	E
among the great piers on the	X
ever new river	Y
Put me a Touchstone	Z
at the wheel white gulls and we'll	A2
follow the ghost of the Half Moon	B2
to the North West Passage and through	C
at Albany for all that	C2
	-
IX	O
	-
Exquisite brown waves long	D2
circlets of silver moving over you	C
enough with crumbling ice crusts among you	C
The sky has come down to you	C
lighter than tiny bubbles face to	C
face with you	C
His spirit is	O
a white gull with delicate pink feet	E2
and a snowy breast for you to	C
hold to your lips delicately	B
	-
X	O
	-
The young doctor is dancing with happiness	O
in the sparkling wind alone	Z
at the prow of the ferry He notices	O
the curdy barnacles and broken ice crusts	O
left at the slip's base by the low tide	F2
and thinks of summer and green	G2
shell crusted ledges among	H2
the emerald eel grass	O
	-
XI	B
	-
Who knows the Palisades as I do	C
knows the river breaks east from them	D
above the city but they continue south	I2
under the sky to bear a crest of	B
little peering houses that brighten	E
with dawn behind the moody	B
water loving giants of Manhattan	E
	-
XII	B
	-
Long yellow rushes bending	P
above the white snow patches	B
purple and gold ribbon	E
of the distant wood	J2
what an angle	K2
you make with each other as	B
you lie there in contemplation	E
	-
XIII	B
	-
Work hard all your young days	B
and they'll find you too some morning	P
staring up under	Y
your chiffonier at its warped	L2
bass wood bottom and your soul	M2
out	N2
among the little sparrows	B
behind the shutter	Y
	-
XIV	B
	-
and the flapping flags are at	C2
half mast for the dead admiral	K2
	-
XV	B
	-
All this	B
was for you old woman	E
I wanted to write a poem	O2
that you would understand	P2
For what good is it to me	B
if you can't understand it	Q2
But you got to try hard	R2
But	S2
Well you know how	T2
the young girls run giggling	P
on Park Avenue after dark	U2
when they ought to be home in bed	R
Well	V2
that's the way it is with me somehow	T2
