From The Little Dream: An Allegory in Six Scenes by John Galsworthy

I am the will o' the wisp that dances thro' the streets; I am the cooing dove of Towns, from the plane trees and the chestnuts' shade. From day to day all changes, where I burn my incense to my thousand little gods. In white palaces I dwell, and passionate dark alleys. The life of men in crowds is mine--of lamplight in the streets at dawn. (Softly) I have a thousand loves. and never one too long; for I am nimbler than your heifers playing in the sunshine. THE FLOWERS, ringing in alarm, cry: "We know them!"
