Poem by Thomas Hardy

A Circular

As 'legal representative'
I read a missive not my own,
On new designs the senders give
For clothes, in tints as shown.

Here figure blouses, gowns for tea,
And presentation-trains of state,
Charming ball-dresses, millinery,
Warranted up to date.

And this gay-pictured, spring-time shout
Of Fashion, hails what lady proud?
Her who before last year was out
Was costumed in a shroud. 

1. The End of the Episode
2. The Month’s Calendar
3. The Strange House
4. The Pair He Saw Pass
5. Song to Aurore
