· Bon Rétour · Now that at last we're safely back again,
And as upon the railway bridge the train
Is stayed some moments, let us say Good-bye,
And ask if you've enjoyed the trip, and try
To think that soon again we're sure to meet,
On country road or in the crowded street,
And ere we part, still linger for a while,
Viewing this tranquil scene with pensive smile,—
The evening glow, the river's falling tide,
Saint Paul's familiar dome and London's pride.
