Explore "The Last Time" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE kiss had been given and taken, / And gathered to many past: / It never could reawaken; / But you heard none say: "It's the last!"
The clock showed the hour and the minute, / But you did not turn and look: / You read no finis in it, / As at closing of a book.
But you read it all too rightly / When, at a time anon, / A figure lay stretched out whitely, / And you stood looking thereon.
