Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди))
Concerning His Old Home
MOOD I I wish to see it never – That dismal place With cracks in its floor – I would forget it ever! MOOD II To see it once, that sad And memoried place – Yes, just once more – I should be faintly glad! MOOD III To see it often again – That friendly place With its green low door – I’m willing anywhen! MOOD IV I’ll haunt it night and day – That loveable place, With its flowers’ rich store That drives regret away!
