‘The City That Will Not Repent’ by Vachel Lindsay
“There lies new San Francisco,
Sea-maid in purple dressed,
Wearing a dancer’s girdle
All to inflame desire:
Scorning her days of sackcloth,
Scorning her cleansing fire.
Sea-maid in purple dressed,
Wearing a dancer’s girdle
All to inflame desire:
Scorning her days of sackcloth,
Scorning her cleansing fire.
See, like a burning city
Sets now the red sun’s dome.
See, mystic firebrands sparkle
There on each store and home.”
Sets now the red sun’s dome.
See, mystic firebrands sparkle
There on each store and home.”
