I. Dawn
The greenish sky glows up in misty reds, / The purple shadows turn to brick and stone, / The dreams wear thin, men turn upon their beds, / And hear the milk-cart jangle by alone.
II. Dusk
The city's street, a roaring blackened stream / Walled in by granite, thro' whose thousand eyes / A thousand yellow lights begin to gleam, / And over all the pale untroubled skies.
III. Rain at Night
The street-lamps shine in a yellow line / Down the splashy, gleaming street, / And the rain is heard now loud now blurred / By the tread of homing feet.
