A Poem by Oscar Wilde.
The fi'lk'V/inu j.<-.-m appear* in a volume issue*! oy Mr Useur Wilde some years uffo. The Thames nocturne of Hue and gold Changed to a harmony in grey : A barge with ochre-colored hay Dropt from the wharf: and chill in J cold The yeilow fog came creeping down The bridges, till thr houses' wall* Seemed changed to shadows, and S, Paul's Loomed like a bubble o'er the town. Then, suddenly, arose the clang Of wakiuL' life : the streets wera stirred With country waggons : and a bird Flew to the glistening roof 3 and sa_£. Bat one pale woman all alone, The daylight kissing hsr wan hair, Loitered beneath the gas _raps' f.ar?, With Hds of llame and heart of stone.
