COME NOT; YET COME! (SONG), by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In my sage moments I can say Last Line: And I faint to a phantom past all trace. | |||
IN my sage moments I can say, Come not near, But far in foreign regions stay, So that here A mind may grow again serene and clear. But the thought withers. Why should I Have fear to earn me Fame from your nearness, though thereby Old fires new burn me, And lastly, maybe, tear and overturn me! So I say, Come: deign again shine Upon this place, Even if unslackened smart be mine From that sweet face, And I faint to a phantom past all trace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEN WHO MARCH AWAY' (SONG OF THE SOLDIERS) by THOMAS HARDY A BROKEN APPOINTMENT by THOMAS HARDY A CHRISTMAS GHOST-STORY; CHRISTMAS-EVE 1899 by THOMAS HARDY A THOUGHT IN TWO MOODS by THOMAS HARDY A THUNDERSTORM IN TOWN by THOMAS HARDY A TRAMPWOMAN'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS HARDY A WIFE IN LONDON by THOMAS HARDY ACCORDING TO THE MIGHTY WORKING by THOMAS HARDY |
