Poem: Symphony In Yellow

Topics: classic

An omnibus across the bridge     Crawls like a yellow butterfly,     And, here and there, a passer-by     Shows like a little restless midge.     Big barges full of yellow hay     Are moored against the shadowy wharf,     And, like a yellow silken scarf,     The thick fog hangs along the quay.     The yellow leaves begin to fade     And flutter from the Temple elms,     And at my feet the pale green Thames     Lies like a rod of rippled jade.
