If you had known by Thomas Hardy

Performed by
Thomas Hardy

If you had known Annotated

&nbsp If you had known
When listening with her to the far-down moan
Of the white-selvaged and empurpled sea,
And rain came on that did not hinder talk,
Or damp your flashing facile gaiety
In turning home, despite the slow wet walk
By crooked ways, and over stiles of stone;
&nbsp If you had known

&nbsp You would lay roses,
Fifty years thence, on her monument, that discloses
Its graying shape upon the luxuriant green;
Fifty years thence to an hour, by chance led there,
What might have moved you? - yea, had you foreseen
That on the tomb of the selfsame one, gone where
The dawn of every day is as the close is,
&nbsp You would lay roses!
