A rag man re-
|
4 |
|
arranged his shuffle
|
5 |
|
—must look smarter
|
6 |
|
for rich Mrs. Doudy.
|

|
|
|
|
"Any rags today kindly Mizz Doudy?"
|
8 |
|
|
|
|
"My oldest silks
|
9 |
|
are too fine
|
10 |
|
|
|
|
for you."
|
11 |
|
|
|
|
"Thank you 'for you'
|
12 |
|
thank you Mizz Doudy."

|
A rag man re-
|
14 |
|
arranged his shuffle—
|
15 |
|
no one to-day adds cloth to his duffle.
|
16 |
|
|
|
|
He turned to rundown
|
17 |
|
lackaday lane—where no flowers
|
18 |
|
grow where a rag man has lain
|
19 |
|
long under stars—
|
20 |
|
|
|
|
stirred only by sweeps—
|
21 |
|
|
|
|
his fibers are rag pa-
|
22 |
|
per faintly inked.
|
23 |
|
|
|
|
It is here that he
|
24 |
|
weeps
|
25 |
|
|
|
|
over all of forever.
