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 clutching,
|
|
Arm’d and fearless—eating, drinking, sleeping, loving,
|
|
No law less than ourselves owning—sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening,
|
|
Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
|
|
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing,
|
|
Fulfilling our foray.
