Fifth Avenue at Night

By 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	5
Through the long street—
The quiet and the shadows, and the light
Tread of far feet.
