Straw in the Street

 Straw in the street where I pass to-day
Dulls the sound of the wheels and feet.

'Tis for a failing life they lay
Straw in the street.


Here, where the pulses of London beat,
Someone strives with the Presence grey;
Ah, is it victory or defeat?

The hurrying people go their way,
Pause and jostle and pass and greet;
For life, for death, are they treading, say
Straw in the street?
