Rh In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass,

I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name,

And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe'er I go,

Others will punctually come forever and ever.

Listener up there! What have you to confide in me?

Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening.

(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.)

Who has done his day's work? Who will soonest be through with his supper?

Who wishes to walk with me?

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,

I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
