Interlude

Richard Aldington

BLOW your tin squeals

On your reedy whistle.

How they come
dancing,

White girls,
lithe girls

In linked dance

From Attica!

Gay girls dancing
in the frozen street,

Hair streaming, and white raiment

Flying,

Red lips that first were

Red in Ephesus.

Gone!

You—red-nose, piping by the Red Lion,

You?

You brought them!

Here, take my pennies,

“Mon semblable, mon frère!”
