ON THE BRIDGE.MIDNIGHT falls across hollow gulfs ofnightAs a stone that falls in a sounding well;Under us the Seine flows through dark and light,While the beat of time—hark!—is audible.Lights on bank and bridge glitter gold and red,Lights upon the stream glitter red and white;Under us the night, and the night overhead.We together, we alone together in the night.
