Gilbert Keith Chesterton - The Hope Of The StreetsGilbert Keith Chesterton - The Hope Of The Streets
Work rating: Low


The still sweet meadows shimmered: and I stood   And cursed them, bloom of hedge and bird of tree, And bright and high beyond the hunch-backed wood   The thunder and the splendour of the sea. Give back the Babylon where I was born,   The lips that gape give back, the hands that grope, And noise and blood and suffocating scorn   An eddy of fierce faces--and a hope That `mid those myriad heads one head find place,   With brown hair curled like breakers of the sea, And two eyes set so strangely in the face   That all things else are nothing suddenly.
