Love

XVII

by Thomas Hardy 1840–1928

From Satires of Circumstance, Lyrics and Reveries, with Miscellaneous Pieces

Love

And they composed a crowd of whom
Some were right good, and many nigh the best . . .
Thus dazed and puzzled ’twixt the gleam and gloom
Mechanically I followed with the rest.

1908–10.
