Suicide on Junction Road Station after Abstention from Evening Communion in North London
With the roar of the gas my heart gives a shout—
To Jehovah Tsidkenu the praise!
Bracket and bracket go blazon it out
In this Evangelical haze!
Jehovah Jireh! the arches ring,
The Mintons glisten, and grand
Are the surpliced boys as they sweetly sing
On the threshold of glory land.
Jehovah Nisi! from Tufnell Park,
Five minutes to Junction Road,
Through grey brick Gothic and London dark,
And my sins, a fearful load.
Six on the upside! six on the down side!
One gaslight in the Booking Hall
And a thousand sins on this lonely station—
What shall I do with them all?
