Hamilton Fish Armstrong, ed. The Book of New York Verse. 1917.

Fifth Avenue at Night

Charles Hanson Towne

LIKE moonstones drooping from a fair queen’s ears

The pale lights seem—

White gems that shimmer when the dark appears

And the old dream—

The ancient dream that comes with every night

Through the long street—

The quiet and the shadows, and the light

Tread of far feet.
