FACES

People that I meet and pass
In the city's broken roar,
Faces that I lose so soon
And have never found before,


Do you know how much you tell
In the meeting of our eyes,
How ashamed I am, and sad
To have pierced your poor disguise?


Secrets rushing without sound
Crying from your hiding places—
Let me go, I cannot bear
The sorrow of the passing faces.
