River.  II.

*

                                                            Moving swiftly with the tide

                                                            Ships and cranes on either side:

                                                            Sailors fighting in an alley,

                                                            Dockers striking at a rally;

                                                            Two men in a boat, both drunk:

                                                            Now they’re sinking, now they’ve sunk;

                                                            In the South, the Navy’s glory;

                                                            In the North, another story;

                                                            On the left are docks and slums:

                                                            Marshes right, till new town comes.
