Poem by Thomas Hardy

Epitaph on a Pessimist

I’m Smith of Stoke, aged sixty-odd,
        I’ve lived without a dame
From youth-time on; and would to God
        My Dad had done the same.

2. The Chimes Play ‘Life’s a Bumper!’
3. Saying Good-bye
4. The Children and Sir Nameless
5. On a Discovered Curl of Hair
