I am sorry I did not reply sooner to your query on Audens poem Another Time.That is the correct title,the book I have is the Collected shorter Poems 1927-1957.I would type it out for you but I believe copying whole works is not allowed.The Poem starts,
For us like any other fugitive,
Like the numberless flowers that cannot number
And all the beasts that need not remember,
It is today in which we live.
I believe the poem was written sometime during WW2.I hope this helps.

Thanks Sue, I think Auden was at his best during WWII. Thanks for the information and I'll have a look at Wondering Minstrels. It could be there. That's Wondering and not Wandering by the way! LL
