ANDREW BLAKEMORE - Black Slates And Cobblestones

2014-11-07 1 Dailymotion

On black slates and cobblestones <br />The sooty rain falls, <br />And the long rows of terraces <br />With stark red brick walls, <br />The rivers in gutters flow <br />It's still pouring down, <br />With smoke from the chimney tops <br />Above this old town. <br /> <br />The grey skies bring misery <br />There's nowhere to turn, <br />Light shines through window panes <br />As coal fires burn, <br />The bleak streets and empty yards <br />Where no children play, <br />There's nothing to smile about <br />So dull is the day. <br /> <br />The chains on the factory gates <br />No work can be found, <br />Hopes fell so long ago <br />On this solemn ground, <br />On black slates and cobblestones <br />The sooty rain falls, <br />And the long rows of terraces <br />With stark red brick walls.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-slates-and-cobblestones/
