Oh, and oh!

The world's a muddle,

The clouds are untidy,

Moon lopsidey,

Shining in a puddle.

Down dirty streets in stench and smoke

The pale townsfolk

Crawl and kiss and cuddle,

In doorways hug and huddle;

Loutish he

And sluttish she

In loathsome love together press

And unbelievable ugliness.

These spiders spin a loathly woof!

I walk aloof,

Head burning and heart snarling,

Tread feverish quick;

My love is sick;

Far away lives my darling.
