HER SECRET, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: That love's dull smart distressed my heart Last Line: Did he dream of following me! Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Secrets | ||||||||
THAT love's dull smart distressed my heart He shrewdly learnt to see, But that I was in love with a dead man Never suspected he. He searched for the trace of a pictured face, He watched each missive come, And a sheet that seemed like a love-line Wrought his look lurid and numb. He dogged my feet to the city street, He followed me to the sea, But not to the nigh, still churchyard Did he dream of following me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MUSEE RODIN IN PARIS by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR EXISTING LIGHT; FOR LEE NYE by MADELINE DEFREES GRETA GARBO AND THE STAR MESSENGER by MADELINE DEFREES ELSINORE IN THE LATE ANCIENT AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE MARGARET'S SPEECH by NORMAN DUBIE THE PARALLAX MONOGRAPH FOR RODIN by NORMAN DUBIE THE TREES OF MADAME BLAVATSKY by NORMAN DUBIE AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM' by THOMAS HARDY |
