The stars shone brightest tonight;
the lights too, never dimmed
The pointless cheers of the drunkards,
all too well to be filled

The streets were jammed not a pin,
neighbors who greet with greed
People who were never happy;
a smile to lit their empty sheets

The curtains swayed with a hush,
as if the wind was speaking
Little did every reverie comprehend
why the candid seemed too weak

It was this, and this only:
the ceasing world outside the lattice,
the dying laughters of powerful men
the faint clashing of wine glass,
and every rumour that spread this town;
these will only be thought in this four corners
And so all the tears that had been shed in silence
