Today, while walking through a hardened street,
Made so by faces I saw in it
And by the walls that flank and pin it
And by the pavement underneath my feet,
There came an interval when I should meet
A group of children gathered round it—
An injured pigeon—where they found it ...
Today I walked upon a velvet street.
