Orpheus in the StreetB. K. van Slyke
I
A haunting ancient tune to tempt the feet;
But nobody paused to listen,
Nobody paused to look,
Although the ragged tune entranced me in the street.
To ragged Orpheus grinding out his air;
For nobody paused to listen,
Nobody paused to look,
Although the ancient gods of Greece flocked round us there.
