In stanza 1, the poet starts with a childish-cynical note. The brown children seem to make fun of the copulating dogs. The childlishness lying in the fact that they are ignoble of the natural process and cynical, is that it is the very way of nature everyone is born. The temple points to unending rhythm, this line is very reflective from a poet's point of view. He witfully indicates that the temple is the eye witness to all happenings from decades, or even centuries. Hence it points towards the sole reality of something. The rhyme scheme is a kind of abcc for the considered 2 pairs of lines.

Stanza 2, this stanza personifies the main street to a rather old, witty, scarred with memories-like individual. The dusty street has memories of all those people who have walked on it, for centuries now, have left shorn scalps that affect the personified boulevard a lot, may be as they were indelible. Injuries drowsy with the heat, the street is scarred,as over time, his raw and fresh wounds have been healed. The memories in past, have had an effect in the present. The rhyme scheme is a shabby abcc type.

Stanza 3, the concluding triplet introduces another omnipresent entity into the scene-the sky. The street, personified  as an old individual is silent, as silence is the sign of the one bent with wit. The scene is something like an eternal witness is along being witnessed over centuries by another omnipresent witness. The sky claims to be the ultimate witness of the main temple street's  rhythm of experiences. It is all there up and above by invioable authority and is connected to main tempel street by cords of silence or one can interpret , bonds of mutual understanding in terms of response to the human activites stimuli.
