Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift Unfractioned idiom immaculate sigh of stars Beading thy path condense eternity And we have seen night lifted in thine arms
Under thy shadow by the piers I waited Only in darkness is thy shadow so clear The city’s fiery parcels all undone Already snow submerges an iron year
O sleepless as the river under thee Vaulting the sea the prairies dreaming sod Unto us lowliest sometime sweep descend And of the curveship lend a myth to God
Under thy shadow by the piers I waited Only in darkness is thy shadow so clear The city’s fiery parcels all undone Already snow submerges an iron year.
