There's something rather lovely
About our street at night:
The dusky gabled houses
With here and there a light,
The pattern of the elm leaves
In lace work on the walk,
The eharch's bulky tower
Transformed to silver chalk,
The whistling velvet figures
Of homeward -faring men
Whose footfalls tap the silence
Till stillness wakes again,
The sky's brocaded curtain
Tassel tied with stars,
The post -historic monsters
We know as motor oars.
A kitten's furry -scurry
Across the street -lamp's arc—
Our street is rather lovely
