Thomas Hardy — An Upbraiding

Now I am dead you sing to me          The songs we used to know, But while I lived you had no wish         Or care for doing so. Now I am dead you come to me         In the moonlight, comfortless; Ah, what would I have given alive         To win such tenderness! When you are dead, and stand to me          Not differenced, as now, But like again, will you be cold         As when we lived, or how?
