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. To Carrey Clavel
2. The Vampirine Fair
3. O I Won’t Lead a Homely Life
4. When Dead
5. The Fight on Durnover Moor
