SOMETHING TAPPED, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Something tapped on the pane of my room Last Line: Tapped at the pane for me. | ||||||||
SOMETHING tapped on the pane of my room When there was never a trace Of wind or rain, and I saw in the gloom My weary Beloved's face. 'O I am tired of waiting,' she said, 'Night, morn, noon, afternoon; So cold it is in my lonely bed, And I thought you would join me soon!' I rose and neared the window-glass, But vanished thence had she: Only a pallid moth, alas, Tapped at the pane for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEN WHO MARCH AWAY' (SONG OF THE SOLDIERS) by THOMAS HARDY A BROKEN APPOINTMENT by THOMAS HARDY A CHRISTMAS GHOST-STORY; CHRISTMAS-EVE 1899 by THOMAS HARDY A THOUGHT IN TWO MOODS by THOMAS HARDY A THUNDERSTORM IN TOWN by THOMAS HARDY A TRAMPWOMAN'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS HARDY A WIFE IN LONDON by THOMAS HARDY ACCORDING TO THE MIGHTY WORKING by THOMAS HARDY |
