Robert William Service - Tourists

In a strange town in a far land br They met amid a throng; br They stared, they could not understand br How life was sudden song. br As brown eyes looked in eyes of grey br Just for a moment's space, br Twin spirits met with sweet dismay br In that strange place. br br And then the mob that swept them near br Reft them away again; br Two hearts in all the world most dear br Knew puzzlement and pain. br They barely brushed in passing by, br A wildered girl and boy, br Who should have clasped with laughing cry, br And wept for joy. br br But no, the crowd cleft them apart, br And she went East, he West; br But there was havoc in his heart br And brooding in her breast. br In a far land, in a strange town br Amid a mob they met; br They stared, they passed . . .
