Henry is thinking of his lute and of backgammon,
Elizabeth follows the waving song, the mystery,
Proud in her red wig and green jewelled favours;
They sit in their white lawn sleeves, as cool as history.

Union Street (1958)

O are you the boy
Who would wait on the quay
With the silver penny
And the apricot tree?

Union Street (1958)

Timothy Winters comes to school
With eyes as wide as a football-pool,
Ears like bombs and teeth like splinters:
A blitz of a boy is Timothy Winters.
