Cones

By F. S. Flint


From “In London” THE BLUE mist of after-rain
Fills all the trees;

The sunlight gilds the tops
Of the poplar spires, far off.

Here a branch sways	5
And there
a sparrow twitters.

The curtain’s hem, rose-embroidered,
Flutters, and half reveals
A burnt-red chimney-pot.	10

The quiet in the room
Bears patiently
A footfall on the street.
