Of faint stale smells of beer
From the sawdust-trampled street
With all its muddy feet that press
To early coffee-stands."

“The houses put their heads together, Talking, perhaps, so dark and sly, Of all the folk they’d seen go by, Children, and men and women, merry all, Who’d some day pass that way to burial.”
