Subject(s): Broadway, New York City; New York City; Manhattan; New York, New York; The Big Apple
HERE surge the ceaseless caravans,
Here throbs the city's heart,
And down the street each takes his way
To play his little part.
The tides of life flow on, flow on,
And Laughter meets Despair;
A heart might break along Broadway. . . .
I wonder who would care?
