by John Drinkwater A Town Window |
BEYOND my window in the night | |
Is but a drab inglorious street, | |
Yet there the frost and clean starlight | |
As over Warwick woods are sweet. | |
Under the grey drift of the town | 5 |
The crocus works among the mould | |
As eagerly as those that crown | |
The Warwick spring in flame and gold. | |
And when the tramway down the hill | |
Across the cobbles moans and rings, | 10 |
There is about my window-sill | |
The tumult of a thousand wings. It is a simple poem about what John Drinkwater is seeing on the street. He does with a lot of imagery, and he is mostly likely explaining all the sounds and sights one would see and hear in the morning. |
