Olive Custance
Primrose Hill
From The Inn of Dreams. John Lane/The Bodley Head, 1911.
Wild heart in me that frets and grieves,
Imprisoned here against your will...
Sad heart that dreams of rainbow wings...
See! I have found some golden things!
The poplar trees on Primrose Hill
With all their shining play of leaves...
And London like a silver bride,
That will not put her veil aside!...
