English Poetry. Thomas Hardy. Any Little Old Song. Томас Гарди (Харди).

Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди))

* * *

Any little old song
Will do for me,
Tell it of joys gone long,
Or joys to be,
Or friendly faces best
Loved to see.

Newest themes I want not
On subtle strings,
And for thrillings pant not
That new song brings:
I only need the homeliest
Of heartstirrings.
