On the pavement here—and there beyond, it is looking,
Down a new-made double grave.

Up from the east, the silvery round moon;5 s+ q( Z+ a9 P7 B, e% p1 l
Beautiful over the house tops, ghastly phantom moon;
Immense and silent moon.

All the channels of the city streets they’re flooding,
As with voices and with tears.公仔箱論壇6 p0 k/ t( b" P- ]5 J% \



I hear the great drums pounding,
And the small drums steady whirring;
And every blow of the great convulsive drums,
Strikes me through and through.
