Every

And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

How oft
hereafter
will she wax and wane;
How oft hereafter rising look for us
Through this same Garden--and for one in vain!

The touch of Zephyr and of Spring has loosen'd Winter's thrall;
The well-dried keels are wheel'd again to sea:
The
ploughman
cares not for his fire, nor cattle for their stall,
And frost no more is whitening all the lea.

Thomas Hardy - Poems of the Past and Present |
|
Then, when the
mellowing
years have made thee man,
No more shall mariner sail, nor pine-tree bark
Ply traffic on the sea, but every land
Shall all things bear alike: the glebe no more
Shall feel the harrow's grip, nor vine the hook;
The sturdy ploughman shall loose yoke from steer,
Nor wool with varying colours learn to lie;
But in the meadows shall the ram himself,
Now with soft flush of purple, now with tint
Of yellow saffron, teach his fleece to shine.

Again she stretch'd, again she bent,
Nor knew the gulf between--
Malignant Fate sat by and smiled--
The

She tumbled headlong in!
