Song in the Night
The collected poems of James Elroy Flecker
Streets to left, and streets to right,Dull and dank it seems,
As I wander in the night Wakened from my dreams. Yearning, Burning, Pain and smart,
Whither dost thou sink, my heart?Whither dost thou sink, my heart?
There’s a house with shutters green Far away from town,
Where the river rolls serene Moving, murmuring down. Bowers, Flowers! Fold it in!
Would I were a guest within!Would I were a guest within!
