Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди)) At Lulworth Cove a Century Back Had I but lived a hundred years ago I might have gone, as I have gone this year, By Warmwell Cross on to a Cove I know, And Time have placed his finger on me there: ‘You see that man?’ – I might have looked, and said, ‘O yes: I see him. One that boat has brought Which dropped down Channel round Saint Alban’s Head. So commonplace a youth calls not my thought.’ ‘You see that man?’ – ‘Why yes; I told you; yes: Of an idling town-sort; thin; hair brown in hue; And as the evening light scants less and less He looks up at a star, as many do.’ ‘You see that man?’ – ‘Nay, leave me!’ then I plead, ‘I have fifteen miles to vamp across the lea, And it grows dark, and I am weary-kneed: I have said the third time; yes, that man I see!’ ‘Good. That man goes to Rome – to death, despair; And no one notes him now but you and I: A hundred years, and the world will follow him there, And bend with reverence where his ashes lie.’ Thomas Hardy's other poems: Распечатать (Print) Количество обращений к стихотворению: 1545 |
