“Then ... I was lying wide awake in bed,

Shot through with tremulous thought, lame hopes, and sweet

Desire of reckless days—with burning head.

And then there came a clamour from the street,

Came nearer, nearer, nearer—stamping feet

And screaming song and curses and a shout

Of ‘Who’s for Dymer, Dymer?—Up and out!’
