And low the mists of evening lie And lightly skims the midge.
Maurice Bowra— New Bats in Old Belfries, 'Henley-on- Thames' (1945)
Oh shall I see the Thames again? The prow-promoted gems again, As beefy ATS Without their hats Come shooting through the bridge? And "cheerioh" and "cheeri-bye" Across the waste of waters die, And low the mists of evening lie And lightly skims the midge.
john betjeman— "Henley-on-Thames", from New Bats in Old Belfries.
