Thomas Hardy - A Dream Or No

Thomas Hardy - A Dream Or No

Why go to Saint-Juliot? What's Juliot to me? br I've been but made fancy br By some necromancy br That much of my life claims the spot as its key. br br br Yes. I have had dreams of that place in the West, br And a maiden abiding br Thereat as in hiding; br Fair-eyed and white-shouldered, broad-browed and brown-tressed. br br br And of how, coastward bound on a night long ago, br There lonely I found her, br The sea-birds around her, br And other than nigh things uncaring to know. br br br So sweet her life there (in my thought has it seemed) br That quickly she drew me br To take her unto me, br And lodge her long years with me. Such have I dreamed.
