In Her Precincts

Title:     In Her Precincts
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

Her house looked cold from the foggy lea,
And the square of each window a dull black blur
Where showed no stir:
Yes, her gloom within at the lack of me
Seemed matching mine at the lack of her.

The black squares grew to be squares of light
As the eyeshade swathed the house and lawn,
And viols gave tone;
There was glee within. And I found that night
The gloom of severance mine alone.

KINGSTON-MAURWARD PARK.

[The end]
Thomas Hardy's poem: In Her Precincts
