 On the outskirts of a great city,
A street of fashionable mansions well withdrawn from all the noise 
   and bustle; 
And in the street--the only figure there--in the middle of the road, 
   in the bitter wind --
Red-nosed thin-shawled, with ankles bare and old boots--
A woman bent and haggard, croaking a dismal song. 

And the great windows stare upon her wretchedness, and stare across 
   the road upon each other, 
With big fool eyes; 
But not a door is opened, not a face is seen, 
Nor form of life down all the dreary street, 
To certify the existence of humanity,--
Other than hers.
