A Porch in Belgravia

WHEN, after dawn, the lordly houses hide

Till you fall foul of it, some piteous guest,

Some girl the damp stones gather to their breast,

Her gold hair rough, her rebel garment wide,

Who sleeps, with all that luck and life denied

Camped round, and dreams how seaward and southwest

Blue over Devon farms the smoke-rings rest,

And sheep and lambs ascend the lit hillside,
