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!
