First Line: Long weeks I walked the city's crowded ways
Last Line: I meet you, face to face!
Subject(s): Cities; Faces; God; Urban Life
LONG weeks I walked the city's crowded ways,
And vainly sought to find you, morn and night;
By daybreak, when the lamps were all ablaze,
And when the noon was bright.
But when I turned, and with the will to flee
Unto some dim and all-deserted place,
Have hurried here where only God may see, --
I meet you, face to face!
