Lower New York--A Storm

Title:     Lower New York--A Storm
Author: Don Marquis [More Titles by Marquis]

WHITE wing'd below the darkling clouds
    The driven sea-gulls wheel;
  The roused sea flings a storm against
    The towers of stone and steel.
  The very voice of ocean rings
    Along the shaken street--
  Dusk, storm, and beauty whelm the world
    Where sea and city meet--
  But what care they for flashing wings,
    Quick beauty, loud refrain,
  These huddled thousands, deaf and blind
    To all but greed and gain?

[The end]
Don Marquis's poem: Lower New York--A Storm
