The West-of-Wessex Girl Annotated

A very West-of-Wessex girl,
&nbsp As blithe as blithe could be,
&nbsp Was once well-known to me,
And she would laud her native town,
&nbsp And hope and hope that we
Might sometime study up and down
&nbsp Its charms in company.

But never I squired my Wessex girl
&nbsp In jaunts to Hoe or street
&nbsp When hearts were high in beat,
Nor saw her in the marbled ways
&nbsp Where market-people meet
That in her bounding early days
&nbsp Were friendly with her feet.

Yet now my West-of-Wessex girl,
&nbsp When midnight hammers slow
&nbsp From Andrew’s, blow by blow,
As phantom draws me by the hand
&nbsp To the place - Plymouth Hoe -
Where side by side in life, as planned,
&nbsp We never were to go!
