SAME COTTAGE - BUT ANOTHER SONG, OF ANOTHER SEASON, by                    
First Line: Morning and night I found
Last Line: To old warm paddington.
Alternate Author Name(s): Beerbohm, Max
Subject(s): Drinkwater, John (1882-1937)


Morning and night I found
White snow upon the ground,
And on the tragic well
Grey ice had cast its spell.
A dearth of wood and coal
Lay heavy on my soul.

My garden was a scene
Of weeds and nettles green,
My window-panes had holes
Through which, all night, lost souls
Peered from the desert road,
And starved cocks faintly crowed.

My path of cinders black
Had an abundant lack
Of visitors, till time
Bade us with boxes climb
The train that hurries on
To old warm Paddington.
