LOUIE by THOMAS HARDY

Poet Analysis

First Line: I AM FORGETTING LOUIE THE BOUYANT
Last Line: LONG TWO STRANGERS THEY AND FAR APART; SUCH NEIGHBOURS NOW!

I AM forgetting Louie the buoyant;
Why not raise her phantom, too,
Here in daylight
With the elect one's?
She will never thrust the foremost figure out of view!

Mid this heat, in gauzy muslin
See I Louie's life-lit brow
Here in daylight
By the elect one's. -
Long two strangers they and far apart; such neighbours now!
