The Night Mail and Other Poems

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:35 AM

Dreaming of terrifying monsters,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:35 AM

Or of friendly tea beside the band at Cranston's or Crawford's:

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:36 AM

Asleep in working Glasgow, asleep in well-set Edinburgh,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:36 AM

Asleep in granite Aberdeen,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:37 AM

They continue their dreams,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:37 AM

And shall wake soon and long for letters,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:38 AM

And none will hear the postman's knock

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:39 AM

Without a quickening of the heart,

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:39 AM

For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:40 AM

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:40 AM

That must have used up some posts? How many more do we need?

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:43 AM

.......1266

**Jeanied** · 31-12-2013, 11:49 AM

A valiant effort Jules

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:52 AM

Maybe I should do Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven?

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 11:54 AM

Or Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan?
