Explore "The Vampirine Fair" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
GILBERT had sailed to India's shore, / And I was all alone: / My lord came in at my open door / And said, "O fairest one!"
He leant upon the slant bureau, / And sighed, "I am sick for thee! " / "My lord," said I, "pray speak not so, / Since wedded wife I be."
