Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди)) Vagrant’s Song (With an Old Wessex Refrain) I When a dark-eyed dawn Crawls forth, cloud-drawn, And starlings doubt the night-time’s close; And ‘three months yet,’ They seem to fret, ‘Before we cease us slaves of snows, And sun returns To loose the burns, And this wild woe called Winter goes!’ – O a hollow tree Is as good for me As a house where the back-brand1 glows! Che-hane, mother; che-hane, mother, As a house where the back-brand glows! II When autumn brings A whirr of wings Among the evergreens around, And sundry thrills About their quills Awe rooks, and misgivings abound, And the joyless pines In leaning lines Protect from gales the lower ground, O a hollow tree Is as good for me As a house of a thousand pound! Che-hane, mother; che-hane, mother, As a house of a thousand pound!1 ‘back-brand’ – the log which used to be laid at the back of a wood fire. Thomas Hardy's other poems:
