Right so

Name the poem and the poet

Grey brick upon brick,
Declamatory bronze
On sombre pedestals -
O'Connell, Grattan, Moore -
And the brewery tugs and the swans
On the balustraded stream
And the bare bones of a fanlight
Over a hungry door
And the air soft on the cheek
And porter running from the taps
With a head of yellow cream
And Nelson on his pillar
Watching his world collapse.

He's wearing what apears to be a San Fransico Giants baseball hat if that counts as a clue.

It doesn't, if anything he should probably be wearing a Liverpool FC cap
