Thomas Hardy - I Need Not Go
Work rating: Low

I need not go 
Through sleet and snow 
To where I know 
She waits for me; 
She will wait me there 
Till I find it fair, 
And have time to spare 
From company. 

When I`ve overgot 
The world somewhat, 
When things cost not 
Such stress and strain, 
Is soon enough 
By cypress sough 
To tell my Love 
I am come again. 

And if some day, 
When none cries nay, 
I still delay 
To seek her side, 
(Though ample measure 
Of fitting leisure 
Await my pleasure) 
She will riot chide. 

What—not upbraid me 
That I delayed me, 
Nor ask what stayed me 
So long? Ah, no! - 
New cares may claim me, 
New loves inflame me, 
She will not blame me, 
But suffer it so.
