A BUSY STREET by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: ALL UP AND DOWN THE BUSY STREET
Last Line: AND THAT IS WHY THEY HURRY SO.
Subject(s): CITIES; COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR; FEBRUARY; STREETS; TRAFFIC; URBAN LIFE; MOBS; CROWDS; AVENUES;

ALL up and down the busy street
The people pass with eager feet—
They must have pleasant things to do
They hurry so the long day through.

All day long they pass me by;
They must have better things than I
At home or where they want to go—
And that is why they hurry so.
