« All quotes from this author
 

O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
And shivering-sweet to the touch?
O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
--
"To a Fat Lady Seen from the Train", from Poems (Hampstead: Priory Press, 1910) p. 20.
