These interminable trains -

Cheery bright havens between the

Soot-clad walls of Victorian tunnels -

Clank and whine through the night;

Like giant, mechanical worms

They burrow under the streets,

Beneath the sunken rivers and

Brown lines of stagnant canals;

Indifferent to East End tenements

And the gated fantasies of

Shiny Dockland wonder lands,

to the lives played out behind

twitching curtains and frosted glass,

They bear their ragged cargo

Of the spent and the drunk,

Whose ends of days will mostly

Soon be consigned to sleep and

The prospect of that shrill alarm

Which ends dreams.
