III
Had I the ear of wombed souls
Ere their chart unrolls,
And thou wert free
To cease, or be,
Then would I tell thee all I know,
And put it to thee: Wilt thou take Life so?
Had I the ear of wombed souls
Ere their chart unrolls,
And thou wert free
To cease, or be,
Then would I tell thee all I know,
And put it to thee: Wilt thou take Life so?
Thomas Hardy - Poems of the Past and Present
