Look’d cold[733] and still and gray,

And on[734] I went, and stood in Leicester Square,

But just as “three” was sounded close at hand

I started and turn’d east,[735] before I knew,

Then down Saint Martin’s Lane, along the Strand,

And through the toll-gate on to Waterloo.

Some men and lads went by,

And turning round, I gazed,[736] and watch’d ’em go,

Then felt that they were going to see him die,[737]

And drew my shawl[738] more tight, and follow’d slow.[739]
