" STREETS          Let's dance the jig!   Above all else I loved her eyes, More clear than stars of cloudless skies, And arch and mischievous and wise.          Let's dance the jig!   So skilfully would she proceed To make a lover's bare heart bleed, That it was beautiful indeed!          Let's dance the jig!   But keenlier have I relished The kisses of her mouth so red Since to my heart she has been dead.          Let's dance the jig!   The circumstances great and small,-- Words, moments . . . I recall, recall It is my treasure among all.          Let's dance the jig! "
