The old yellow stucco	A
Of the time of the Regent	B
Is flaking and peeling	C
The rows of square windows	D
In the straight yellow building	C
Are empty and still	E
And the dusty dark evergreens	F
Guarding the wicket	G
Are draped with wet cobwebs	H
And above this poor wilderness	I
Toneless and sombre	J
Is the flat of the hill	E
	-
They said that a colonel	K
Who long ago died here	J
Was the last one to live here	J
An old retired colonel	K
Some Fraser or Murray	J
I don't know his name	L
Death came here and summoned him	M
And the shells of him vanished	N
Beyond all speculation	O
And silence resumed here	J
Silence and emptiness	I
And nobody came	L
	-
Was it wet when he lived here	J
Were the skies dun and hurrying	C
Was the rain so irresolute	N
Did he watch the night coming	C
Did he shiver at nightfall	P
Before he was dead	N
Did the wind go so creepily	P
Chilly and puffing	C
With drops of cold rain in it	N
Was the hill's lifted shoulder	J
So lowering and menacing	C
So dark and so dread	N
	-
Did he turn through his doorway	Q
And go to his study	N
And light many candles	R
And fold in the shutters	S
And heap up the fireplace	T
To fight off the damps	U
And muse on his boyhood	N
And wonder if India	N
Ever was real	P
And shut out the loneliness	I
With pig sticking memoirs	V
And collections of stamps	U
	-
Perhaps But he's gone now	W
He and his furniture	J
Dispersed now for ever	J
And the last of his trophies	X
Antlers and photographs	Y
Heaven knows where	J
And there's grass in his gateway	Q
Grass on his footpath	Z
Grass on his door step	A2
The garden's grown over	J
The well chain is broken	O
The windows are bare	J
	-
And I leave him behind me	N
For the straggling discoloured	N
Rags of the daylight	N
And hills and stone walls	B2
And a rick long forgotten	O
Of blackening hay	Q
The road pale and sticky	N
And cart ruts and nail marks	C2
And wind ruffled puddles	R
And the slop of my footsteps	D2
In this desolate country's	X
Cadaverous clay	Q
