Thomas Hardy - V.R. 1819-1901 (A Reverie.)
Work rating: Low

Moments the mightiest pass calendared,
      And when the Absolute
   In backward Time outgave the deedful word
      Whereby all life is stirred:
"Let one be born and throned whose mould shall constitute
The norm of every royal-reckoned attribute,"
      No mortal knew or heard.
   But in due days the purposed Life outshone -
      Serene, sagacious, free;
  —Her waxing seasons bloomed with deeds well done,
      And the world`s heart was won . . .
Yet may the deed of hers most bright in eyes to be
Lie hid from ours—as in the All-One`s thought lay she -
      Till ripening years have run.
