On Broadway

About me young careless feet   Linger along the garish street;     Above, a hundred shouting signs   Shed down their bright fantastic glow     Upon the merry crowd and lines   Of moving carriages below.   Oh wonderful is Broadway — only   My heart, my heart is lonely.   Desire naked, linked with Passion,  Goes trutting by in brazen fashion;    From playhouse, cabaret and inn  The rainbow lights of Broadway blaze    All gay without, all glad within;  As in a dream I stand and gaze  At Broadway, shining Broadway — only  My heart, my heart is lonely.
