Сторінка 169 - WILL there be snowfall on lofty Soracte After a summer so tranquil and torrid ? Whoso detests the east wind, as a fact he Thinks 'twill be horrid. But there are zephyrs more mild by the ocean, Every keen touch of the snowdrifts to lighten : If to be cosy and snug you've a notion — Winter in Brighton ! Politics nobody cares about ; spurn a Topic whereby all our happiness suffers. Dolts in the back streets of Brighton return a Couple of duffers. 47 48 WINTER Iff BRIGHTON. Fawcett and White in the...
Сторінка 181 - ALL through the sultry hours of June, From morning blithe to golden noon, And till the star of evening climbs The gray-blue East, a world too soon, • There sings a Thrush amid the limes.
