Bathe in God's mercy,

Draw near and learn salvation, see

With their own eyes the mystery.

Cymbals, at the hands of a tired girl,

Slim wisp amid the swirl

Of crowded streets, take up the tune,

Monotonously importune.

Faces are wan in the arc-light's livid glare;

A wind gust carries the band's flare

Of song, in noisy eddies echoing,
