Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ... this with envy was combined--I thought I heard a sigh From the wretched, ragged, sober bum as the drunken bum went by. And I thought I noticed a strong disgust and maybe a gleam of hope In the sober one's face as he watched his friend in his aimless weave and grope. I thought I saw a feeble, faintly flickering flash of life From the burned-out fires that once had driven his soul's ambitious strife. But perchance I erred, and perhaps the hope that I half believed I saw Was a fantasy born of the prayer I made as I gazed at the loose-hung jaw, The mottled cheek and the stubbly chin, the blurred and blearing eye--That look on the face of the sober bum when the drunken bum went by.

Man off in a fodderfield--you see 'is overalls Bluer than th' gray-blue sky; his black an' sorrel team Movin' on from shock to shock--small enough fer dolls! Afterward you wonder if you seen 'em in a dream. Two folks come a-walkin' from th' main street o' the town--Hear th' bus a-rumblin' like th' distant roll o' drums! Somethin' creaks; y' see th' target-paddle droppin' down, Bus man hikes 'is pants an' spits an' grunts out, "Hyer she comes." Waitin' fer a railroad train at little dumps like that Is just...
