Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from London Lays and Other Poems
Sweet, quaint melodists! Heard above The rumbling roar of the City You are singing a song of love Tuned to an old-time ditty.
Love! That we thought could ne'er have thriven Where weariest workers plod, Where souls are sold and hearts are given To humour the great Gold-god.
Thoughts of a thousand happier days Come with your every note, Echoes of all our Childhood's lays Eddy and circle and ?oat.
Sweet, quaint melodists chiming peace Over the City's din, Open our hearts with your magic keys And garner the lost love in.
