We Two Boys Together Clinging.

WE two boys together clinging,
One the other never leaving,
Up and down the roads going — North and South      excursions making,
Power enjoying — elbows stretching — fingers clutch-      ing,
Armed and fearless — eating, drinking, sleeping, lov-     ing,
No law less than ourselves owning — sailing, soldiering,      thieving, threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming — air breathing, water      drinking, on the turf of the sea-beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking,      feebleness chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.
