IN PICCADILLY by ISAAC ROSENBERG

Poet Analysis

First Line: LAMP-LIT FACES, TO YOU
Last Line: LIGHTS YOUR PASSIONLESS DUST.
Subject(s): SOLDIERS' WRITINGS;
Lamp-lit faces, to you
What is your starry dew?
Gold flowers of the night blue!

Deep in wet pavement's slime
Mud-rooted is your fierce prime,
To bloom in lust's coloured clime.

The sheen of eyes that lust,
Which dew-time made your trust,
Lights your passionless dust.
