Her Initals

Thomas Hardy

     UPON a poet's page I wrote
       Of old two letters of her name;
     Part seemed she of the effulgent thought
       Whence that high singer's rapture came.
     --When now I turn the leaf the same
       Immortal light illumes the lay
     But from the letters of her name
       The radiance has died away.
