   RICHARD CORY

whenever Richard cory went down town,
we people on the pavement looked at him:
he was a gentleman from sole to crown,
clean favoured,and imperially slim
and he was always quietly arrayed,
and he was always human when he talked;
but still he fluttered pulses when he said,

“good morning”and he glittered when he walked.
