London Sleeps

The night is serene;

all is quiet,

all is dead;

fate is strung further onto the thread.

Beauty sleeps,

fools awake;

but at what time

do the orphans call their chimes?

The Queen's tower gives

its toll while

stone alleys keep

watch of the evil that seeps.

Yet most of London stays

quiet and rests

'til morn comes rise

in Old, Old England size.
