As I walked out one evening, Walking down Bristol Street,The crowds upon the pavement Were fields of harvest wheat.And down by the brimming river I heard a lover singUnder an arch of the railway: ‘Love has no ending.’I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you Till China and Africa meet,And the river jumps over the mountain And the salmon sing in the street,’I’ll love you till the ocean Is folded and hung up to dryAnd the seven stars go squawking Like geese about the sky. ― W.H. Auden, As I Walked Out One Evening: Songs, Ballads, Lullabies, Limericks & Other Light Verse
