Won't you help support DayPoems? An August MidnightBy Thomas Hardy6/2/1840-1/11/1928I A shaded lamp and a waving blind, And the beat of a clock from a distant floor: On this scene enter--winged, horned, and spined - A longlegs, a moth, and a dumbledore; While 'mid my page there idly stands A sleepy fly, that rubs its hands . . . II Thus meet we five, in this still place, At this point of time, at this point in space. - My guests parade my new-penned ink, Or bang at the lamp-glass, whirl, and sink. "God's humblest, they!" I muse. Yet why? They know Earth-secrets that know not I. DayPoems Poem No. 1054 Comment on DayPoems? If you are like us, you have strong feelings about poetry, and about each poem you read.
