There’s a magic in the distance, where the sea-line meets the sky.

Poems (1906)

Yes; as the music changes,
Like a prismatic glass,
It takes the light and ranges
Through all the moods that pass;
Dissects the common carnival
Of passions and regrets,
And gives the world a glimpse of all
The colours it forgets.

Poems (1906)

There was music all about us, we were growing quite forgetful
We were only singing seamen from the dirt of Londontown.

Poems (1906)

Go down to Kew in lilac-time, in lilac-time, in lilac-time;
Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London!)
And you shall wander hand in hand with love in summer's wonderland;
Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London!)
