After Schiller
Knight, a true sister-love
This heart retains;
Ask me no other love,
That way lie pains!
Calm must I view thee come,
Calm see thee go;
Tale-telling tears of thine
I must not know!
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet. His novels, including "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and "Jude the Obscure," were known for their depictions of rural life and the struggles of ordinary people. His poetry often explored similar themes and had a strong sense of place.
