–
Rise in silence, quiet now, out out
Take to the pavement, though
You may be footsore it matters nought
–
For Sunrise wearies night’s melancholy
into the shadows creeping behind
As we walk the light streaked alley
–
Pause, no! in the scent of the Boulangerie,
Calling rest here, at the mouth,
Stride into the colour of Passage Molière
–
Scurry past the red of Cafe De La Pouse
under darkened lamps one to three
Seeking where intellect will find its rouse
–
There on shelf forty six of the Librarie,
Sit the words encased in musty leather
That talk of a life lost in diablerie
–
This tome a means to thwart
A delay to your early run to tomb.
