THAT MOMENT by THOMAS HARDY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE TRAGEDY OF THAT MOMENT
Last Line: AND KNEW THAT YOU WERE NOT!
THE tragedy of that moment
Was deeper than the sea,
When I came in that moment
And heard you speak to me!

What I could not help seeing
Covered life as a blot;
Yes, that which I was seeing,
And knew that you were not!
