On The Bridge

Title:     On The Bridge
Author: Arthur Symons [More Titles by Symons]

MIDNIGHT falls across hollow gulfs of
night
As 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.

[The end]
Arthur Symons's poem: On The Bridge
