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, soldier-
     ing, thieving, threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing,
     water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach
     dancing,
With birds singing—With fishes swimming—With
     trees branching and leafing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking,
     feebleness chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.
