7/16 'The Masters'
“I Look into my Glass”
 
 
 
I LOOK into my glass,  
  And view my wasting skin,  
And say, “Would God it came to pass  
  My heart had shrunk as thin!”  
 
For then, I, undistrest  
  By hearts grown cold to me,  
Could lonely wait my endless rest  
  With equanimity.  
 
But Time, to make me grieve,  
  Part steals, lets part abide;  
And shakes this fragile frame at eve  
  With throbbings of noontide.

The End             Thomas Hardy 1840-1928
