The Looe Valley Line Poetic Beauty
Share in an experience which has enchanted travellers for over 100 years, and inspired Bernard Moore to write a poem about escaping from the smoky city to the green Looe Valley.
Peckham Rye,Loughborough,Elephant,St Paul’s Every morning the porter bawls The train grinds out ... and I gaze on lots Of sad back gardens and chimney-pots Factory stacks and smoky haze Showering smuts on the close-packed ways ...
But,trapped and prisoned as I may be, I lift a latch and my thoughts go free, And once again I am running down On a winding track from a Cornish town And I dream the names of the stations through - Moorswater,Causeland,Sandplace,Looe ...
The line twists down through patches sweet Of soft green pasture and waving wheat And the stream spreads out to a river wide Where ships creep up at the turn of tide, Till a tangle of spars on a blue sky spun Gives me the sign of the journey done, And I stand contented on the quay And hear the surging song of the sea.
So runs the dreamlike journey through Moorswater,Causeland,Sandplace,Looe; But every morning the porter bawls, Peckham Rye,Loughborough,Elephant,St Paul’s
