Explore "The Haunter" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
HE does not think that I haunt here nightly: / How shall I let him know / That whither his fancy sets him wandering / I, too, alertly go? - / Hover and hover a few feet from him / Just as I used to do, / But cannot answer his words addressed me- / Only listen thereto!
When I could answer he did not say them: / When I could let him know / How I would like to join in his journeys / Seldom he wished to go. / Now that he goes and wants me with him / More than he used to do, / Never he sees my faithful phantom / Though he speaks thereto.
