1
There were a dozen dead bodies in the Euston Road
2
Their outlines softened by the black dust
3
All was still, houses locked and empty, shops closed
4
But looters had helped themselves to wine and food
5
And outside a jewelers some gold chains
6
And a watch were scattered on the pavement
7
Ulla
8
I stopped, staring towards the sound
9
It seemed as if that mighty desert of houses
10
Had found a voice for its fear and solitude
11
Ulla
12
The desolating cry worked upon my mind
13
The wailing took possession of me
14
I was intensely weary, footsore, hungry and thirsty
15
Why was I wandering alone in this city of the dead?
16
Why was I alive
17
When London was lying in state in its black shroud?
18
I felt intolerably lonely, drifting from street to empty street
19
Drawn inexorably towards that cry
20
Ulla
21
I saw, over the trees on Primrose Hill
22
The fighting machine from which the howling came
23
I crossed Regent's Canal, there stood a second machine
24
Upright but as still as the first
25
Ulla
26
Abruptly, the sound ceased, suddenly the desolation
27
The solitude, became unendurable
28
While that voice sounded London it still seemed alive
29
Now suddenly there was a change, the passing of something
30
And all that remained was this gaunt quiet
31
I looked up and saw a third machine
32
It was erect and motionless like the others
33
An insane resolve possessed me
34
I would give my life to the Martians, here and now
35
I marched recklessly towards the Titan
36
And saw that a multitude of black birds
37
Were circling and clustering about the hood
38
I began running along the road
39
I felt no fear only a wild, trembling exultation
40
As I ran up the hill towards the motionless monster
41
Out of the hood hung red shreds
42
At which the hungry birds now pecked and tore
43
I scrambled up to the crest of Primrose Hill
44
The Martians camp was below me
45
A mighty space it was and scattered about it
46
In their overturned machines, were the Martians
47
Dead, slain after all man's devices had failed
48
By the humblest things up on the Earth, bacteria
49
Minute, invisible, bacteria
50
Directly the invaders arrived and drank and fed
51
Our microscopic allies attacked them
52
From that moment they were doomed
