a wife in london - john joubert lyrics
Loading...
she sits in the tawny vapour
that the thames*side lanes have uprolled
behind whose webby fold on fold
like a waning taper
the street*lamp glitters cold
a messenger’s knock cracks smartly
flashed news is in her hand
of meaning it dazes to understand
though shaped so shortly:
he * has fallen * in the far south land…
’tis the morrow; the fog hangs thicker
the postman nears and goes:
a letter is brought whose lines disclose
by the firelight flicker
his hand, whom the worm now knows:
fresh*firm*penned in highest feather *
page*full of his hoped return
and of home*planned jaunts by brake and burn
in the summer weather
and of new love that they would learn
