Answer 2

They went together into the old room
That looked across the fields; and Imogen
Gazed out with a girl’s gladness in her eyes, 40
Happy to know that she was back once more
Where there were those who knew her, and at last
Had gloriously got away again
From cabs and clattered asphalt for a while;
