June
In Rotten Row, 'tis nice, you know,
To see the tide of Fashion flow!
Though hopeless cynics carp and croon —
I do not care one macaroon —
But love to watch the passing show!
You'll find it anything but slow,
To laugh and chaff with those you know;
And pleasant then to sit at noon,
In Rotten Row!
When Summer breezes whisper low,
And countless riders come and go;
Beneath the trees in leafy June,
I love to sit and muse and moon —
While beauties canter to and fro —
In Rotten Row!
~~
J. Ashby-Sterry (1836-1917)
