Lines 257-265: 'This music crept by me upon the waters'...

<---PREV

257           'This music crept by me upon the waters'
258           And along the Strand, up Queen Victoria Street.
259           O City city, I can sometimes hear
260           Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,
261           The pleasant whining of a mandoline
262           And a clatter and a chatter from within
263           Where fishmen lounge at noon: where the walls
264           Of Magnus Martyr hold
265           Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold.
