Poem by Alfred Tennyson

Beautiful City

Beautiful city, the centre and crater of European confusion,
O you with your passionate shriek for the rights of an equal humanity,
How often your Re-volution has proven but E-volution
Roll’d again back on itself in the tides of a civic insanity!

1. In the Valley of Cauteretz
2. The Cock
3. The Lord of Burleigh
4. Epitaph on General Gordon
5. O True and Tried
