Thomas Hardy - Wives in the Sere

2014-11-07 11 Dailymotion

I <br /> <br />Never a careworn wife but shows, <br />   If a joy suffuse her, <br />Something beautiful to those <br />   Patient to peruse her, <br />Some one charm the world unknows <br />   Precious to a muser, <br />Haply what, ere years were foes, <br />   Moved her mate to choose her. <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />But, be it a hint of rose <br />   That an instant hues her, <br />Or some early light or pose <br />   Wherewith thought renews her - <br />Seen by him at full, ere woes <br />   Practised to abuse her - <br />Sparely comes it, swiftly goes, <br />   Time again subdues her.<br /><br />Thomas Hardy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wives-in-the-sere/
