| - | |
| In a hotel room by the sea the Master | B |
| Sits brooding on the continent he has crossed | C |
| Not that he foresees immediate disaster | B |
| Only a sort of freshness being lost | C |
| Or should he go on calling it Innocence | D |
| The sad faced monsters of the plains are gone | E |
| Wall Street controls the wilderness There's an immense | F |
| Novel in all this waiting to be done | G |
| But not not sadly enough by him His | H |
| talents | I |
| Such as they may be want a different theme | J |
| Rather more civilized than this on balance | D |
| For him now always the recurring dream | J |
| Is just the mild dear light of Lamb House falling | K |
| Beautifully down the pages of his calling | K |
