     THE great gold apples of night

     Hang from the street's long bough¹

              Dripping their light

     On the faces that drift below,

     On the faces that drift and blow

     Down the night-time, out of sight

              In the wind's sad sough.

 

     The ripeness of these apples of night

     Distilling over me

              Makes sickening the white

     Ghost-flux of faces that hie

     Them endlessly, endlessly by

     Without meaning or reason why

              They ever should be.
