PICCADILLY

Beautiful, tragical faces—

Ye that were whole, and are so sunken;

And, O ye vile, ye that might have been loved,

That are so sodden and drunken,

Who hath forgotten you?

O wistful, fragile faces, few out of many!

The crass, the coarse, the brazen,

God knows I cannot pity them, perhaps, as I should do;

But oh, ye delicate, wistful faces,

Who hath forgotten you?
