| The carriage brushes through the bright | B |
| Leaves violent jets from life to light | B |
| Strong polished speed is plunging heaves | C |
| Between the showers of bright hot leaves | C |
| The window glasses glaze our faces | D |
| And jar them to the very basis | E |
| But they could never put a polish | F |
| Upon my manners or abolish | F |
| My most distinct disinclination | G |
| For calling on a rich relation | G |
| In her house bulwark built between | H |
| The life man lives and visions seen | H |
| The sunlight hiccups white as chalk | I |
| Grown drunk with emptiness of talk | J |
| And silence hisses like a snake | K |
| Invertebrate and rattling ache | K |
| Then suddenly Eternity | L |
| Drowns all the houses like a sea | L |
| And down the street the Trump of Doom | M |
| Blares madly shakes the drawing room | M |
| Where raw edged shadows sting forlorn | N |
| As dank dark nettles Down the horn | N |
| Of her ear trumpet I convey | O |
| The news that 'It is Judgment Day ' | - |
| 'Speak louder I don't catch my dear ' | - |
| I roared 'It is the Trump we hear ' | - |
| 'The What ' 'THE TRUMP ' 'I shall complain | P |
| the boy scouts practising again ' | - |
