SEEN BY THE WAITS, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Through snowy woods and shady Last Line: We thought, but never said. Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers; Widows & Widowers | |||
THROUGH snowy woods and shady We went to play a tune To the lonely manor-lady By the light of the Christmas moon. We violed till, upward glancing To where a mirror leaned, It showed her airily dancing, Deeming her movements screened; Dancing alone in the room there, Thin-draped in her robe of night; Her postures, glassed in the gloom there, Were a strange phantasmal sight. She had learnt (we heard when homing) That her roving spouse was dead: Why she had danced in the gloaming We thought, but never said. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WIDOW SPEAKS TO THE AURORA'S OF A DECEMBER NIGHT by NORMAN DUBIE NEW AGE AT AIRPORT MESA by NORMAN DUBIE POPHAM OF THE NEW SONG: 5; FOR R.P.
