The Parade

Dorothy Butts

FACES, laughing and torch-lit,

Passing and passing—

Laughing and torch-lit and passing!

Voices, crying and shouting,

Dying and dying—

Crying and shouting and dying!

Drums, beating and thumping,

Retreating, retreating—

Beating and thumping, retreating!

Gone! There remains but the heat

Of the August night-wind

Blowing a leaf down the street.
