Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gipsy Night, and Other Poems
Whenthefeetoftheraintreadadanceonthe roofs, And the wind slides through the rocks and the trees, And Dobbin has stabled his hoofs In the warm bracken-litter, noisy about his knees; And when there is no moon, and the sodden clouds slip over; Whenever there is no moon, and the rain drips cold, And folk with a shilling of money are bedded in houses, And pools of water glitter on Farmer's mould; Then pity Sally's girls, with the rain in their blouses Martha and Johnnie, who have no money The small naked puppies who whimper against the bitches, The small sopping children who creep to the ditches.
