The Face Of A Vacant Night .

The Face Of A Vacant Night .

 Once with careless steps ,

In a shadowy springy night ,

My weary vagabond had the face ,

Of crowded street in Red-light .

Hyena ,wolf and jackal I saw  ,

Trudging in rows of caves ,

And screaming sounds with ,

Notorious laughters ,

Were sold in exchange of rapes .

Faces yellow , blue and red ,

Cast the glow of the primeval trade ,

And the hungry knaves from ancient forest ,

Sought refuge in the death bed .

Hello ! Hello! Yawned the gallows ,

And the indifferent night covered her face ,

The pitiable Earth forgot her birth ,

Witnessing the mad orgy of her race .
