In The Mind's Eye

Title:     In The Mind's Eye
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

That was once her casement,
And the taper nigh,
Shining from within there,
Beckoned, "Here am I!"

Now, as then, I see her
Moving at the pane;
Ah; 'tis but her phantom
Borne within my brain! -

Foremost in my vision
Everywhere goes she;
Change dissolves the landscapes,
She abides with me.

Shape so sweet and shy, Dear,
Who can say thee nay?
Never once do I, Dear,
Wish thy ghost away.

[The end]
Thomas Hardy's poem: In The Mind's Eye
