New Stanzas for Amazing Grace By Allen Ginsberg

• I dreamed I dwelled in a homeless place
• Where I was lost alone
• Folk looked right through me into space
• And passed with eyes of stone
• O homeless hand on many a street
• Accept this change from me
• A friendly smile or word is sweet
• As fearless charity
• Woe workingman who hears the cry
• And cannot spare a dime
• Nor look into a homeless eye
• Afraid to give the time
• So rich or poor no gold to talk
• A smile on your face
• The homeless ones where you may walk
• Receive amazing grace
• I dreamed I dwelled in a homeless place
• Where I was lost alone
• Folk looked right through me into space
