Not I!
written by Walter de la Mare
Peacock Pie: A Book of Rhymes, 1924 ed. (1924) Link to further information




    As I came out of Wiseman's Street,
    The air was thick with driving sleet;
    Crossing over Proudman's Square,
    Cold clouds and louring dulled the air;
    But as I turned to Goodman's Lane,
    The burning sun came out again;
    And on the roof of Children's Row
    In solemn glory shone the snow.
    There did I lodge; there hope to die:
    Envying no man - no, not I.
