Singer. He was slender, he was strange;

And the high moon—it burned for none but him.

“Where’s Glendy, Gus?”

“Took sick.”

The loud guitar,

Hesitating, rallied and persevered;

But modified its note to a new sweetness,

A low, a far-off sweetness, as Gus looked,

Listened, and looked again at the mysterious

Caller on whose mouth the full moon smiled.
