THE MOON LOOKS IN

Thomas Hardy

I have risen again, And awhile survey By my chilly ray Through your window-pane

Your upturned face, As you think, “Ah-she Now dreams of me In her distant place!”

I pierce her blind In her far-off home: She fixes a comb, And says in her mind,

“I start in an hour; Whom shall I meet? Wo n't the men be sweet, And the women sour!”
