And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
And old men vacant of propriety
Have faintly rung a next-door neighbor’s bell.”

They take a serpentine course—their arms flash in the sun—hark to the musical clank;”

Going by at a railroad rate,
Looking through wreaths of engine smoke
Far into the lives of other folk.”
