THE wan ghost of the moon
Goes, wistful, by,
Forgotten, futile,
In the flaring sky
Above Broadway,
With none to look at her—
The lights bedazzle
Every reveler!
So might, I think,
The restless ghost return
To Broadway,
Where the lights forever burn,
Of some gay chorus lady,
Once its pride,
The wistful ghost of one—
Who had not died!
