Explore "The Circus Parade" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Circus! -The Circus! -The throb of the drums, / And the blare of the horns, as the Band-wagon comes; / The clash and the clang of the cymbals that beat, / As the glittering pageant winds down the long street!
In the Circus parade there is glory clean down / From the first spangled horse to the mule of the Clown, / With the gleam and the glint and the glamour and glare / Of the days of enchantment all glimmering there!
