IN THE STREET (SONG), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Only acquaintances
Last Line: Our futures, and what there may whelm and whirl.


ONLY acquaintances
Seem do we,
Each of whom, meeting, says
Civilly
"Good morning." -- Yes: thus we appear to be!

But far, near, left and right,
Here or there,
By day or dingiest night,
Everywhere
I see you: one incomparably fair!

So do we wend our ways,
Beautiful girl,
Along our parallel days;
While unfurl
Our futures, and what there may whelm and whirl.
