letra de middlesex - sir john betjeman
gaily into ruislip gardens
runs the red electric train
with a thousand ta’s and pardon’s
daintily alights elaine;
hurries down the concrete station
with a frown of concentration
out into the outskirt’s edges
where a few surviving hedges
keep alive our lost elysium—rural middles-x again
well cut windsmoor flapping lightly
jacqmar scarf of mauve and green
hiding hair which, friday nightly
delicately drowns in drene;
fair elaine the bobby-soxer
fresh-complexioned with innoxa
gains the garden—father’s hobby—
hangs her windsmoor in the lobby
settles down to sandwich supper and the television screen
gentle brent, i used to know you
wandering wembley-wards at will
now what change your waters show you
in the meadowlands you fill!
recollect the elm-trees misty
and the footpaths climbing twisty
under cedar-shaded palings
low laburnum-leaned-on railings
out of northolt on and upward to the heights of harrow hill
parish of enormous hayfields
perivale stood all alone
and from greenford scent of mayfields
most enticingly was blown
over market gardens tidy
taverns for the bona fide
c-ckney anglers, c-ckney shooters
murray poshes, lupin pooters
long in kensal green and highgate silent under soot and stone
