We walked through the early morning streets of the old town -
The buildings we passed were solemn with memory -
Invisible clerks still filled ledgers with fastidious copperplate -
Gas jets hissed -
Tall warehouses faced the river -
Frock coated shades waited for Baltic cargoes -
A murmuration of starlings filled the sky -
