The Gold That Paves the Streets

"PAVE to-day the broad highway With something not so white as the souls Of the innocent boys at play. Why can't men pave the business marts With something harder than women's hearts? Is there no gold that will serve their turn, Save the shining gold of the heads that rest Soft on a mother's loving breast? Must these go down to a drunkard's grave, In order that we the streets may pave?"
