They bear him to his resting-place-
In slow procession sweeping by;
I follow at a stranger-s space;
His kindred they, his sweetheart I.
Unchanged my gown of garish dye,
Though sable-sad is their attire;
But they stand round with griefless eye,
Whilst my regret consumes like fire!
She, At His Funeral

Write your comment about She, At His Funeral poem by Thomas Hardy
Brigitta Hirtreiter, 75, German: How can a man write such a poem, from the point of view of a loving woman?
I adore Hardy's novels, didn't know he had such marvellous poems.
