City Stories

"City of night,

Wrap me in your folds of shadow.

City of twilight,

shining silhouette upon a haze of blue;

City of columns that hold up the sunset;

City of rectangles, and hard-shaped threatening

masses that block out the light:

City of twilight,

Wrap me in your folds of shadow.

City of midnight,

Adorned by a full moon and flooded with electric light;

City where cats go

prowling and closed, iron-clad dust-carts go rattling through the shadows:

City of midnight,

Wrap me in your folds of shadow.

City of the dawn;

Cool, fresh-sprinkled city,

whose sharp roof

peaks are splintered against the stars;

City unbarring its tall haggard

gates in sorrow:

City of the dawn,

Wrap me in your folds of shadow."
