Glass was the Street -- in tinsel Peril

Glass was the Street -- in tinsel Peril

Tree and Traveller stood --

Filled was the Air with merry venture

Hearty with Boys the Road --

Shot the lithe Sleds like shod vibrations

Emphasized and gone

It is the Past's supreme italic

Makes this Present mean --
