The Caged Goldfinch

Title:     The Caged Goldfinch
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

Within a churchyard, on a recent grave,
I saw a little cage
That jailed a goldfinch. All was silence save
Its hops from stage to stage.

There was inquiry in its wistful eye,
And once it tried to sing;
Of him or her who placed it there, and why,
No one knew anything.

[The end]
Thomas Hardy's poem: Caged Goldfinch
