Selected poems by John Millington Synge (Author: John Millington Synge)

poem 6

Winter

With little money in a great city

1. There's snow in every street
   Where I go up and down,
   And there's no woman man or dog
   That knows me in the town.
2. I know each shop, and all
   These Jews and Russian Poles,
   For I go walking night and noon
   To spare my sack of coals.
