THE LAST TIME, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The kiss had been given and taken Last Line: And I stood looking thereon. | ||||||||
THE kiss had been given and taken, And gathered to many past: It never could reawaken; But I heard none say: "It's the last!" The clock showed the hour and the minute But I did not turn and look: I read no finis in it, As at closing of a book. But I read it all too rightly When, at a time anon, A figure lay stretched out whitely, And I stood looking thereon. | 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 |
