名人诗歌|Flame and Shadow(32)

Nightfall

We will never walk again As we used to walk at night, Watching our shadows lengthen^{1 Under the gold street-light When the snow was new and white.}

We will never walk again Slowly, we two, In spring when the park is sweet With midnight and with dew, And the passers-by are few.

I sit and think of it all, And the blue June twilight^{2 dies, Down in the clanging square A street-piano cries And stars come out in the skies.}
