Poems by Isaac Rosenberg by Isaac Rosenberg

In Piccadilly

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.
