[00:10.71] From the geyser ventilators
[00:12.84] Autumn winds are blowing down
[00:14.85] On a thousand business women
[00:17.38] Having baths in Camden Town
[00:20.82] Waste pipes chuckle into runnels,
[00:23.95] Steam's escaping here and there,
[00:26.18] Morning trains through Camden cutting
[00:28.60] Shake the Crescent and the Square.
[00:32.47] Early nip of changeful autumn,
[00:36.16] Dahlias glimpsed through garden doors,
[00:38.54] At the back precarious bathrooms
[00:42.02] Jutting out from upper floors;
[00:44.55] And behind their frail partitions
[00:46.88] Business women lie and soak,
[00:50.26] Seeing through the draughty skylight
[00:52.76] Flying clouds and railway smoke.
[01:00.41] Rest you there, poor unbelov'd ones,
[01:04.71] Lap your loneliness in heat.
[01:08.36] All too soon the tiny breakfast,
[01:11.77] Trolley-bus and windy street!
