Religion

The Occultation

by Thomas Hardy 1840–1928

From Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses

Religion

WHEN the cloud shut down on the morning shine,
And darkened the sun,
I said, “So ended that joy of mine
Years back begun.”

But day continued its lustrous roll
In upper air;
And did my late irradiate soul
Live on somewhere?
