Poem by Thomas Hardy

* * *

Any little old song
Will do for me,
Tell it of joys gone long,
Or joys to be,
Or friendly faces best
Loved to see.

Newest themes I want not
On subtle strings,
And for thrillings pant not
That new song brings:
I only need the homeliest
Of heartstirrings.

1. A Forgotten Miniature
2. The Woman in the Rye
3. When Oats Were Reaped
4. The Wind’s Prophecy
5. Old Excursions
