The poem
http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/928.html


 * The Voice **
 * Thomas Hardy **


 * Woman much missed, how you call to me, call to me, **
 * Saying that now you are not as you were **
 * When you had changed from the one who was all to me, **
 * But as at first, when our day was fair. **


 * Can it be you that I hear? Let me view you, then, **
 * Standing as when I drew near to the town **
 * Where you would wait for me: yes, as I knew you then, **
 * Even to the original air-blue gown! **


 * Or is it only the breeze in its listlessness **
 * Travelling across the wet mead to me here, **
 * You being ever dissolved to wan wistlessness, **
 * Heard no more again far or near? **


 * Thus I; faltering forward, **
 * Leaves around me falling, **
 * Wind oozing thin through the thorn from norward, **
 * And the woman calling. **
