Afterwards by Thomas Hardy - Summary Analysis - Afterwards by Thomas Hardy • 1840 – 1928 • • When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay, • And the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings, • Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk, will the neighbours say, • He was a man who used to notice such things ? • • If it be in the dusk when, like an eyelid's soundless blink, • The dewfall-hawk comes crossing the shades to alight • Upon the wind-warped upland thorn, a gazer may think, • To him this must have been a familiar sight. • • If I pass during some nocturnal blackness, mothy and warm, • When the hedgehog travels furtively over the lawn, • One may say, He strove that such innocent creatures should come to no harm, • But he could do little for them; and now he is gone. • • If, when hearing that I have been stilled at last, they stand at the door, • Watching the full-starred heavens that winter sees, • Will this thought rise on those who will meet my face no more, • He was one who had an eye for such mysteries ? • • And will any say when my bell of quittance is heard in the gloom, • And a crossing breeze cuts a pause in its outrollings, • Till they rise again, as they were a new bell's boom, • He hears it not now, but used to notice such things? • • / iswearenglish • / iswearenglish • / iswearenglish • #afterwards #ThomasHardy #iswearenglish
