WE TWO BOYS TOGETHER CLINGING.
WE two boys together clinging, |
One the other never leaving, |
Up and down the roads going, North and South excursions
making,
|
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching, |
Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving, |
No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving,
threatening,
|
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on
the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
|
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chas-
ing,
