FROM A CITY VIADUCT
The pale pure candle-flame of pear
Shines far below me, and the air
Is clarified of dust and dirt,
And purged of squalor's ugly hurt.
Revere the man of long-dead name
Who thought of light that healing flame’.
A troubled city s weary toil
Is n^itigated since that soil
Was loved enough to lift through gloom
A dozen fruit trees’ lambent bloom.
