About me leagues of houses lie	A
Above me grim and straight and high	A
They climb the terraces lean up	B
Like long grey reefs against the sky	A
	-
Packed tier on tier the people dwell	C
Each narrow hollow wall is full	D
And in that hive of honeycomb	E
Remote and high I have one cell	C
	-
And when I turn into my street	F
I hear in murmurous retreat	F
A tide of noises flowing out	G
The city ebbing from my feet	F
	-
And lo two long straight walls between	H
There dwells a little park serene	H
Where blackened trees and railings hem	I
A little handkerchief of green	H
	-
Yet I can see across the roof	J
The sun the stars and God For proof	J
Between the twisting chimney pots	K
A pointing finger old aloof	J
	-
The traffic that the city rends	K
Within my quiet haven ends	K
In a deep murmur or across	K
My pool a gentle ripple sends	K
	-
A chime upon the silence drab	L
Paints music hooting motors stab	L
The pleasant peace and far and faint	M
The jangling lyric of the cab	L
	-
And when I wander proud and free	N
Through my domain unceasingly	C
The endless pageant of the shops	K
Marches along the street with me	N
	-
About me ever blossoming	O
Like rich parterres the hoardings fling	O
An opulence of hue and make	P
Within my garden endless Spring	O
	-
The droning tram cars spitting light	Q
And like great bees in drunken flight	Q
Burly and laden deep with bloom	R
The 'busses lumbering home at night	Q
	-
Sometimes an afternoon will fling	O
New meaning on each sombre thing	O
And low upon the level roofs	K
The sultry sun lies smouldering	O
	-
Sometimes the fog that faery girl	C
Her veil of wonder will unfurl	C
And crescent gaunt and looming flat	S
Are sudden mysteries of pearl	C
	-
New miracles the wet streets show	T
On stems of flame the gas lamps glow	T
I walk upon the wave and see	N
Another London drowned below	T
	-
And when night comes strange jewels strew	U
The winding streets I wander through	U
Like pearls upon a woman's throat	V
The street lamps' swerving avenue	U
	-
In every face that passes mine	W
Unfathomed epics I divine	W
Each figure on the pavement is	K
A vial of untasted wine	W
	-
Through lands enchanted wandering	O
To all a splendour seems to cling	O
Lo from a window beacon high	A
Hope still the Night is questioning	O
	-
And so ere sleep I lie and mark	O
Romance's stealthy footsteps Hark	O
The rhythm of the horse's hoof	J
Bears some new drama through the dark	O
	-
So in this tall and narrow street	F
I lie as in Death's lone retreat	F
And hear loud in the pulse of Life	X
Eternity upon me beat	F
