AFTER LONDON, by J. D. C. PELLOW First Line: London bridge is broken down Last Line: With a gay lady. Subject(s): London | ||||||||
London Bridge is broken down, Dance o'er my lady lee, London Bridge is broken down, With a gay lady. How shall we build it up again? Dance o'er my lady lee, How shall we build it up again, With a gay lady. Build it up with silver and gold, Dance o'er my lady lee, Build it up with silver and gold, With a gay lady. Silver and gold will be stole away, Dance o'er my lady lee, Silver and gold will be stole away, With a gay lady. Build it up again with iron and steel, Dance o'er my lady lee, Build it up again with iron and steel, With a gay lady. Iron and steel will bend and bow, Dance o'er my lady lee, Iron and steel will bend and bow, With a gay lady. Build it up with wood and clay, Dance o'er my lady lee, Built it up with wood and clay, With a gay lady. Wood and clay will wash away, Dance o'er my lady lee, Wood and clay will wash away, With a gay lady. Built it up with stone so strong, Dance o'er my lady lee, Build it up with stone so strong, With a gay lady. Huzza! 'twill last for ages long, Dance o'er my lady lee, Huzza! 'twill last for ages long, With a gay lady. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHARF ON THAMES-SIDE: WINTER DAWN by LAURENCE BINYON THE IDLER'S CALENDAR: MAY.
