Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди)) Before My Friend Arrived I sat on the eve-lit weir, Which gurgled in sobs and sighs; I looked across the meadows near To the towered church on the rise. Overmuch cause had my look! I pulled out pencil and book, And drew a white chalk mound, Outthrown on the sepulchred ground. Why did I pencil that chalk? It was fetched from the waiting grave, And would return there soon, Of one who had stilled his walk And sought oblivion’s cave. He was to come on the morrow noon And take a good rest in the bed so hewn. He came, and there he is now, although This was a wondrous while ago. And the sun still dons a ruddy dye; The weir still gurgles nigh; The tower is dark on the sky. Thomas Hardy's other poems:
