Her Initials

________________________________________________
Title:     Her Initials
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by 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!

1869.
