There were a dozen dead bodies in the Euston Road
Their outlines softened by the black dust
All was still, houses locked and empty, shops closed
But looters had helped themselves to wine and food
And outside a jeweller's
Some gold chains and a watch were scattered on the pavement
ย
In Bloomsbury, the stillness grew even more profound
An odd, unnerving feeling of suspense
As though the destruction which had annihilated the countryside
Might at any moment strike these gracious houses
In the very heart of London
And leave all in smoking ruins
ย
