UP AND DOWN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: DOWN THE HILL OF LUDGATE
Last Line: DOWN THE HILL OF FLEET.
Down the Hill of Ludgate,
Up the Hill of Fleet,
To and fro and East and West
With people flows the street;
Even the King of England
On Temple Bar must beat
For leave to ride to Ludgate
Down the Hill of Fleet.
