Thomas Hardy - Rain On A GraveThomas Hardy - Rain On A Grave
Work rating: Low


Clouds spout upon her   Their waters amain   In ruthless disdain, Her who but lately   Had shivered with pain As at touch of dishonour If there had lit on her So coldly, so straightly   Such arrows of rain. She who to shelter   Her delicate head Would quicken and quicken   Each tentative tread If drops chanced to pelt her   That summertime spills   In dust-paven rills When thunder-clouds thicken   And birds close their bills. Would that I lay there   And she were housed here! Or better, together Were folded away there Exposed to one weather We both, who would stray there When sunny the day there,   Or evening was clear   At the prime of the year. Soon will be growing   Green blades from her mound, And daisies be showing   Like stars on the ground, Till she form part of them Ay the sweet heart of them, Loved beyond measure With a child`s pleasure   All her life`s round.
