I need not go
Through sleet and snow
To where I know
She waits for me;
She will wait me there
Till I find it fair,
And have time to spare
From company.
When I've overgot
The world somewhat,
When things cost not
Such stress and strain,
Is soon enough
By cypress sough
To tell my Love
I am come again.
And if some day,
When none cries nay,
I still delay
To seek her side,
(Though ample measure
Of fitting leisure
Await my pleasure)
She will riot chide.
What--not upbraid me
That I delayed me,
Nor ask what stayed me
So long? Ah, no! -
New cares may claim me,
New loves inflame me,
She will not blame me,
But suffer it so.
Thomas Hardy

I love this poem. The style is light but a depth of feeling lies beneath. Edith Oram

Upon reading this, I was struck by the fun rhyme scheme, but also by what must assuredly be an error in the line 'She will riot chide'. I believe it must be 'She will not chide.' (I'm guessing it was scanned in and the software thought the 'n' was a 'ri') . There may be other errors as well, diminishing what is otherwise a fine work. -chuck
