First Line: Like moonstones drooping from a fair queen's
Last Line: Tread of far feet.
Subject(s): Fifth Avenue, New York City; Night; Streets; Bedtime; Avenues


LIKE moonstones drooping from a fair queen's ears
The pale lights seem --
White gems that shimmer when the dark appears
And the old dream --

The ancient dream that comes with every night
Through the long street --
The quiet and the shadows, and the light
Tread of far feet.
