Bahnhofstrasse





Bahnhofstrasse

(Zurich, 1918)





The eyes that mock me sign the way



Whereto I pass at eve of day.







Grey way whose violet signals are



The trysting and the twining star.







Ah star of evil! star of pain!



Highhearted youth comes not again







Nor old heart's wisdom yet to know



The signs that mock me as I go.
