Poems by John Betjeman
How To Get On In Society
... So do come and take some with meNow here is a fork for your pastries ...
Diary of a Church Mouse
... All the same, They do not fill my meagre frame ...
Christmas
... And hideous tie so kindly meant,No love that in a family dwells, ...
In Westminster Abbey
... Free speech, free passes, class distinction, ...
Seaside Golf
... How straight it flew, how long it flew, ...
Myfanwy
... Which were the baths where they taught you to swim ...
Death In Leamington
... From over Leamington SpaBeside her the lonely crochet ...
The Last Laugh
... My work sold. Now, if the harvest is over ...
A Subaltern's Love Song
... I am weak from your loveliness, Joan Hunter DunnMiss Joan Hunter Dunn, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, ...
Slough
... Swarm over, Death!Come, bombs and blow to smithereens ...
Loneliness
... For, sure as blackthorn bursts to snow, ...
The Irish Unionist's farewell to Greta Hellastrom in 1922
... While the beech trees rock and thunder ...
Business Girls
... Having baths in Camden TownWaste pipes chuckle into runnels, ...
Guilt
... For somewhere, somewhere, burns a light ...
Meditation on the A30
... and puffs at his pitiful lifeShe's losing her looks very fast, ...
