VAGRANT VERSE
FOR THE SPACE OF A MOMENT. ~
For the space of a moment; in the Tube, I could men’s thoughts divine: I saw into their inmost hearts, Their secret souls were mine.
The lady dressed in bugled black, With hair and eyebrows gray, —She danced around the mulberry bush, She gathered nuts in May.
And the little man, the shabby man, The man with downcast air, —He reared a mighty pyramid, And laid a monarch there. —C. F. Wadham in The Observer (London).
