| 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. |
