AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 3. AFTER THE CLUB-DANCE, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Black'on frowns east on maidon Last Line: They, too, have done the same! Subject(s): Festivals; Fairs; Pageants | |||
BLACK' ON frowns east on Maidon, And westward to the sea, But on neither is his frown laden With scorn, as his frown on me! At dawn my heart grew heavy, I could not sip the wine, I left the jocund bevy And that young man o' mine. The roadside elms pass by me, - Why do I sink with shame When the birds a-perch there eye me? They, too, have done the same! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FESTIVAL OF GIOVEDI GRASSO by MATTHEA HARVEY I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS THE DANCE (2) by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 1.
