Nature

“it Never Looks Like Summer”

by Thomas Hardy 1840–1928

From Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses

Nature

“IT never looks like summer here
On Beeny by the sea.”
But though she saw its look as drear,
Summer it seemed to me.

It never looks like summer now
Whatever weather’s there;
But ah, it cannot anyhow,
On Beeny or elsewhere!
