First lines
What is the stir in the street? Hurry of feet! And after, A sound as of pipes and of tabers!
Men of the conflicts and labors, Struggling and shifting and shoving, Pushing and pounding your neighbors, Fighting for leeway for laughter, Toiling for leisure for loving! Hark, through the window and up to the rafter, Madder and merrier, Deeper and verier, Sweeter, contrarier, Dafter and dafter, A song arises, -- A thrill, an intrusion, A reel, an illusion, A rapture, a crisis Of bells in the air!
