Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди))

Night-Time in Mid-Fall

It is a storm-strid night, winds footing swift
Through the blind profound;
I know the happenings from their sound;
Leaves totter down still green, and spin and drift;
The tree-trunks rock to their roots, which wrench and lift
The loam where they run onward underground.

The streams are muddy and swollen; eels migrate
To a new abode;
Even cross, ’tis said, the turnpike-road;
(Men’s feet have felt their crawl, home-coming late):
The westward fronts of towers are saturate,
Church-timbers crack, and witches ride abroad.

1. The End of the Episode
2. There Seemed a Strangeness
3. The Curtains Now Are Drawn
4. On One Who Lived and Died Where He Was Born
5. The Seven Times
