29.
ONE flitting glimpse, caught through an interstice, Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room,around the stove, late of a winter night—And
I unremarked, seated in a corner; Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently
approaching, and seating himself near, that he
may hold me by the hand; A long while, amid the noises of coming and going
—of drinking and oath and smutty jest, There we two, content, happy in being together,
speaking little, perhaps not a word.
