**The Face in the Rain** Elsa Gidlow O form! O face! Elfin face in the crowd! Form, face, white throat, Pale throat wound with a scarf Poppy red, Blood-like, red, Pale throat wound with a poppy scarf Gleaming out of the crowd. Background of grey, A rain-wet street; Shuffling; shambling Beating feet, Past the corner where four ways meet. O face, O throat! Crimson and white Splashed on grey: I have thought of nothing else all day. Misted streets, A scarf-wound throat, Fay-like face That seemed to float Through the crowd Like a wisp of song: I have thought of them all day long.
