“Percussus sum sicut foenum, et aruit cor meum.” Psalm ci.
Wintertime nighs; But my bereavement-pain It cannot bring again: Twice no one dies.
Flower-petals flee; But, since it once hath been, No more that severing scene Can harrow me.
Birds faint in dread: I shall not lose old strength In the lone frost's black length: Strength long since fled!
Leaves freeze to dun; But friends can not turn cold This season as of old For him with none.
Tempests may scath; But love can not make smart Again this year his heart Who no heart hath.
Black is night's cope; But death will not appal One who, past doubtings all, Waits in unhope.
Hardy (very well) read by Richard Burton, a Caedmon recording from 1961. I append four poems read by his barrel-chested friend and fellow Welshman Dylan Thomas (Caedmon & BBC (1952) Kindly seed.
