Excerpt from At Lord's by Francis Thompson (1859–1907)[edit]
For the field is full of shades as I near the shadowy coast,
And a ghostly batsman plays to the bowling of a ghost,
And I look through my tears on a soundless-clapping host
- As the run-stealers flicker to and fro,
- To and fro
- As the run-stealers flicker to and fro,
