“In a house backed by orderly woods,
“Facing a tractored sugar-beet country,
“Your working hosts engaged to their stint,
“You are unlike to encounter
“Dragons or romance: were drama a craving,
“You would not have come.”
Auden’s collection of previously unpublished poems, many centered on the rooms of his house in Vienna.
