  • Pale wraith of happier days, who sadly stand Amid the relics of the simple life, Apartment houses grace the rolling land Where goatherds tootled on the horn and fife. Where are they friends of Harlem's early days Who once cavorted pungent on the green? Thy Dionysian revels once did craze Where now Apollo's coryphées are seen. The strains of thy wild goat now are stilled, The football chant resounds upon the heights Where once your overflowing joy you spilled, Wild youth cavorts on Springtime's balmy nights. Soon may thy tattered hide be laid to rest Among the bleating legions of the blest. (en)
