Explore "The Walk" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
YOU did not walk with me / Of late to the hill-top tree / By the gated ways, / As in earlier days; / You were weak and lame, / So you never came, / And I went alone, and I did not mind, / Not thinking of you as left behind.
I walked up there to-day / Just in the former way: / Surveyed around / The familiar ground / By myself again: / What difference, then? / Only that underlying sense / Of the look of a room on returning thence.
