A poem by Thomas Hardy

The Discovery

________________________________________________
Title:     The Discovery
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

I wandered to a crude coast
Like a ghost;
Upon the hills I saw fires -
Funeral pyres
Seemingly--and heard breaking
Waves like distant cannonades that set the land shaking.

And so I never once guessed
A Love-nest,
Bowered and candle-lit, lay
In my way,
Till I found a hid hollow,
Where I burst on her my heart could not but follow.


[The end]
Thomas Hardy's poem: Discovery
