Excerpt from More Songs From Vagabondia And ever with the vanguard The vagrant singers come The gamins of the city Who dance before the drum Jongleurs. What is the stir in the street ? Hurry of feet! And after, A sound as of pipes and of tabers! Men of the conflicts and labors, Struggling and shifting and shoving, Pushing and pounding your neighbors, Fighting for leeway for laughter, Toiling for leisure for loving! Hark, through the window and up to the rafter, Madder and merrier, Deeper and verier, Sweeter, contrarier, Dafter and dafter, A song arises, - A thrill, an intrusion, A reel, an illusion, A rapture, a crisis Of bells in the air! Ay, up from your work and look out of the window! "Who are the newcomers, Arab or Hindoo? Persians, or Japs, or the children of Isis?" - Guesses, surmises - Forth with you, fare Down in the street to draw nearer and stare! Come from your palaces, come from your hovels! Lay down your ledgers, your picks and your shovels, Your trowels and bricks, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
