<p>Primrose Hill</p>
<p>Wild heart in me that frets and grieves,<br/>
Imprisoned here against your will . . .<br/>
Sad heart that dreams of rainbow wings<br/>
See! I have found some golden things!<br/>
The poplar trees on Primrose Hill<br/>
With all their shining play of leaves . . .<br/>
And London like a silver bride,<br/>
That will not put her veil aside!</p>
<p>Proud London like a painted Queen,<br/>
Whose crown is heavy on her head . . .<br/>
City of sorrow and desire,<br/>
Under a sky of opal fire,<br/>
Amber and amethyst and red . . .<br/>
And how divine the day has been!<br/>
For every dawn God builds again<br/>
This world of beauty and of pain . . .</p>
<p>Wild heart that hungers for delight,<br/>
Imprisoned here against your will;<br/>
Sad heart, so eager to be gay!<br/>
Loving earth's lovely things . . . the play<br/>
Of wind and leaves on Primrose Hill . . .<br/>
Or London dreaming of the night . . .<br/>
Adventurous heart, on beauty bent,<br/>
That only Heaven could quite content!</p>
