The Return Of The Native

      "To sorrow
      I bade good morrow,
      And thought to leave her far away behind;
      But cheerly, cheerly,
      She loves me dearly;
      She is so constant to me, and so kind.
      I would deceive her,
      And so leave her,
      But ah! she is so constant and so kind."

By Thomas Hardy
