Siegfried Sassoon - When I’m Among A Blaze Of Lights
Work rating: Low

When I’m among a blaze of lights,   
With tawdry music and cigars   
And women dawdling through delights,   
And officers in cocktail bars,   
Sometimes I think of garden nights
And elm trees nodding at the stars.   
   
I dream of a small firelit room   
With yellow candles burning straight,   
And glowing pictures in the gloom,   
And kindly books that hold me late.
Of things like these I choose to think   
When I can never be alone:   
Then someone says ‘Another drink?’   
And turns my living heart to stone.
