Explore "Yell'Ham-Wood's Story" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
COOMB-FIRTREES say that Life is a moan, / And Clyffe-hill Clump says "Yea! " / But Yell'ham says a thing of its own: / It's not "Gray, gray / Is Life alway! " / That Yell'ham says, / Nor that Life is for ends unknown.
It says that Life would signify / A thwarted purposing: / That we come to live, and are called to die, / Yes, that's the thing / In fall, in spring, / That Yell'ham says: - / "Life offers-to deny! "
