We Two Boys Together Clinging.
| WE two boys together clinging, |
| One the other never leaving, |
Up and down the roads going—North and South
excursions making,
|
Power enjoying—elbows stretching—fingers clutch-

|
Armed and fearless—eating, drinking, sleeping, lov-
ing,
|
No law less than ourselves owning—sailing, soldiering,
thieving, threatening,
|
Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing, water
drinking, on the turf of the sea-beach dancing,
|
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking,
feebleness chasing,
