Further than trees and hedges and green grass | B |
Whitened by distance further than small pools | C |
Held among fields and gardens further than | D |
Haystacks and windmill sails and roofs and herds | E |
The sea's last margin ceases at the sun | F |
The sea has left us but the sun remains | G |
Sometimes the country spreads aloof in tracts | H |
Smooth from the harvest sometimes sky and land | I |
Are shut from the square space the window leaves | J |
By a dense crowd of trees stem behind stem | K |
Passing across each other as we pass | B |
Sometimes tall poplar wands stand white their heads | L |
Outmeasuring the distant hills Sometimes | M |
The ground has a deep greenness sometimes brown | N |
In stubble and sometimes no ground at all | O |
For the close strength of crops that stand unreaped | I |
The water plots are sometimes all the sun's | P |
Sometimes quite green through shadows filling them | K |
Or islanded with growths of reeds or else | Q |
Masked in grey dust like the wide face o' the fields | R |
And still the swiftness lasts that to our speed | I |
The trees seem shaken like a press of spears | S |
There is some count of us folks travelling capped | I |
Priesthood and lank hard featured soldiery | T |
Females no women blouses Hunt and I | U |
We are relayed at Amiens The steam | V |
Snorts chafes and bridles like three hundred horse | W |
And flings its dusky mane upon the air | T |
Our company is thinned and lamps alight | I |
But still there are the folks in travelling caps | X |
No priesthood now but always soldiery | T |
And babies to make up for show in noise | Y |
Females no women blouses Hunt and I | U |
Our windows at one side are shut for warmth | Z |
Upon the other side a leaden sky | U |
Hung in blank glare makes all the country dim | A2 |
Which too seems bald and meagre be it truth | B2 |
Or of the waxing darkness Here and there | T |
The shade takes light where in thin patches stand | I |
The unstirred dregs of water | T |
Hunt can see | C2 |
A moon he says but I am too far back | D2 |
Still the same speed and thunder We are stopped | I |
Again and speech tells clearer than in day | I |
Hunt has just stretched to tell me that he fears | S |
I and my note book may be taken for | T |
The stuff that goes to make an missaire | T |
De la perfide Let me abate my zeal | E2 |
There is a stout gendarme within the coach | F2 |
This cursed pitching is too bad My teeth | G2 |
Jingle together in it and my legs | H2 |
Which I got wet at Boulogne this good day | I |
Wading for star fish are so chilled that I | U |
Would don my coat were not these seats too hard | I |
To spare it from beneath me and were not | I |
The love of ease less than the love of sloth | I2 |
Hunt has just told me it is nearly eight | I |
We do not reach till half past ten Drat verse | J2 |
And steam and Paris and the fins of Time | K2 |
Marry for me look you I will go sleep | L2 |
Most of them slept I could not held awake | M2 |
By jolting clamour with shut eyes my head | I |
Willing to nod and fancy itself vague | N2 |
Only at Stations I looked round me when | O2 |
Short silence paused among us and I felt | I |
A creeping in my feet from abrupt calm | P2 |
At such times Hunt would jerk himself and then | O2 |
Tumble uncouthly forward in his sleep | L2 |
This lasted near three hours The darkness now | Q2 |
Stayeth behind us on the sullen road | I |
And all this light is Paris Dieu merci | J2 |

PARIS Saturday Night | I |
Send me dear William by return of post | I |
As much as you can manage of that rhyme | K2 |
Incurred at Ventnor Bothers and delays | J2 |
Have still prevented me from copying this | J2 |
Till now now that I do so let it be | C2 |
Anticipative compensation | F |
Num ro Rue Geoffroy Marie | C2 |
Faubourg Montmartre pr s des Boulevards | J2 |
Dear William labelled thus the thing will reach | R2 |
