Parliament Hill In The Evening

Title:     Parliament Hill In The Evening
Author: D. H. Lawrence [More Titles by Lawrence]

THE houses fade in a melt of mist
Blotching the thick, soiled air
With reddish places that still resist
The Night's slow care.

The hopeless, wintry twilight fades,
The city corrodes out of sight
As the body corrodes when death invades
That citadel of delight.

Now verdigris smoulderings softly spread
Through the shroud of the town, as slow
Night-lights hither and thither shed
Their ghastly glow.

[The end]
D H Lawrence's poem: Parliament Hill In The Evening
