THE COMET AT YALBURY OR YELL'HAM

Thomas Hardy

It bends far over Yell'ham Plain, And we, from Yell'ham Height, Stand and regard its fiery train, So soon to swim from sight.

It will return long years hence, when As now its strange swift shine Will fall on Yell'ham; but not then On that sweet form of thine.
