Eugene Field - Hi-Spy
Work rating: Low

Strange that the city thoroughfare,
  Noisy and bustling all the day,
Should with the night renounce its care,
  And lend itself to children`s play!

Oh, girls are girls, and boys are boys,
  And have been so since Abel`s birth,
And shall be so till dolls and toys
  Are with the children swept from earth.

The self-same sport that crowns the day
  Of many a Syrian shepherd`s son,
Beguiles the little lads at play
  By night in stately Babylon.

I hear their voices in the street,
  Yet `t is so different now from then!
Come, brother! from your winding-sheet,
  And let us two be boys again!
