A poem by Thomas Hardy

"My Spirit Will Not Haunt The Mound"

________________________________________________
Title:     "My Spirit Will Not Haunt The Mound"
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

My spirit will not haunt the mound
Above my breast,
But travel, memory-possessed,
To where my tremulous being found
Life largest, best.

My phantom-footed shape will go
When nightfall grays
Hither and thither along the ways
I and another used to know
In backward days.

And there you'll find me, if a jot
You still should care
For me, and for my curious air;
If otherwise, then I shall not,
For you, be there.


[The end]
Thomas Hardy's poem: "My Spirit Will Not Haunt The Mound"
