Ballad Of The Londoner

________________________________________________
Title:     Ballad Of The Londoner
Author: James Elroy Flecker [More Titles by Flecker]

Evening falls on the smoky walls,
And the railings drip with rain,
And I will cross the old river
To see my girl again.

The great and solemn-gliding tram,
Love's still-mysterious car,
Has many a light of gold and white,
And a single dark red star.

I know a garden in a street
Which no one ever knew;
I know a rose beyond the Thames,
Where flowers are pale and few.

[The end]
James Elroy Flecker's poem: Ballad Of The Londoner
