CITY of orgies, walks and joys!
City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day make
you illustrious,
Not the pageants of younot your shifting tableaux, your spectacles,
repay me;
Not the interminable rows of your housesnor the ships at the
wharves,
Nor the processions in the streets, nor the bright windows, with
goods in them;
Nor to converse with learn'd persons, or bear my share in the soiree
or feast;
Not thosebut, as I pass, O Manhattan! your frequent and swift flash
of eyes offering me love,
Offering response to my ownthese repay me;
Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.
