richard mitchley - a wife in london (december 1899) by thomas hardy lyrics
Loading...
i + the tragedy
she sits in the tawny vapour
that the thames+side lanes have uprolled
behind whose webby fold+on+fold
like a waning taper
the street+lamp glimmers cold
a messenger’s knock cracks smartly
flashed news in her hand
of meaning it dazes to understand
though shaped so shortly:
he—he has fallen—in the far south land…
ii + the irony
’tis the morrow; the fog hangs thicker
the postman nears and goes:
a letter is brought whose lines disclosе
by the firelight fl!cker
his hand, whom thе worm now knows:
fresh—firm—penned in highest feather—
page+full of his hoped return
and of home+planned jaunts of brake and burn
in the summer weather
and of new love that they would learn
