- "Flinging itself at street and store window, Rainy darkness suddenly drenches the city. Wet, globulous lights are a-glimmer thro it, And wet motors, that swim by seethingly. Thunder rumbles down on windy umbrellas; And the sidewalks are paved with phosphorescence As a quick vein of lightning spills viridly Over the cornice-gray of the skyscrapers. A traffic-cop whistles and turns his semaphore, In dripping rubber. Feet scurry to shelter,— Slenderly stockinged ankles tempting among them, As again the green lightning momently gushes."
