Tourists by Robert William Service

 In a strange town in a far land
 They met amid a throng;
They stared, they could not understand
 How life was sudden song.
As brown eyes looked in eyes of grey
 Just for a moment's space,
Twin spirits met with sweet dismay
 In that strange place.

And then the mob that swept them near
 Reft them away again;
Two hearts in all the world most dear
 Knew puzzlement and pain.
They barely brushed in passing by,
 A wildered girl and boy,
Who should have clasped with laughing cry,
 And wept for joy.

But no, the crowd cleft them apart,
 And she went East, he West;
But there was havoc in his heart
 And brooding in her breast.
In a far land, in a strange town
 Amid a mob they met;
They stared, they passed . . . But O deep down,
 Can they forget?
