STREET CRIES

    When dawn's first cymbals1 beat upon the sky, Rousing the world to labour's various cry, To tend the flock, to bind2 the mellowing3 grain, From ardent4 toil5 to forge a little gain, And fasting men go forth6 on hurrying feet, BUY BREAD, BUY BREAD, rings down the eager street.

    When the earth falters7 and the waters swoon With the implacable radiance of noon, And in dim shelters koils hush8 their notes, And the faint, thirsting blood in languid throats Craves9 liquid succour from the cruel heat, BUY FRUIT, BUY FRUIT, steals down the panting street.

    When twilight10 twinkling o'er the gay bazaars11, Unfurls a sudden canopy12 of stars, When lutes are strung and fragrant13 torches lit On white roof-terraces where lovers sit Drinking together of life's poignant14 sweet, BUY FLOWERS, BUY FLOWERS, floats down the singing street.
