Thomas Hardy

What did it mean? Annotated

What did it mean that noontide, when
You bade me pluck the flower
Within the other woman’s bower,
&nbsp Whom I knew nought of then?

I thought the flower blushed deeplier - aye,
And as I drew its stalk to me
It seemed to breathe: “I am, I see,
Made use of in a human play.”

And while I plucked, upstarted sheer
As phantom from the pane thereby
A corpse-like countenance, with eye
That iced me by its baleful peer -
&nbsp Silent, as from a bier . . .

When I came back your face had changed,
&nbsp It was no face for me;
O did it speak of hearts estranged,
&nbsp And deadly rivalry

&nbsp In times before
&nbsp I darked your door,
&nbsp To seise me of
&nbsp Mere second love,
Which still the haunting first deranged?
