Explore "I Say I'll Seek Her" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I SAY, "I'll seek her side / Ere hindrance interposes; " / But eve in midnight closes, / And here I still abide.
When darkness wears I see / Her sad eyes in a vision; / They ask, "What indecision / Detains you, Love, from me? -
"The creaking hinge is oiled, / I have unbarred the backway, / But you tread not the trackway; / And shall the thing be spoiled?
"Far cockcrows echo shrill, / The shadows are abating, / And I am waiting, waiting; / But O, you tarry still! "
