The Shadow on the Stone（1 / 2）

Thoas Hardy

I went by the Druid stone

That broodsthe garden white and lone,

And I sped and looked at the shiftg shadows,

That at so onts fall thereon

Fro the tree hard by with a rhythic sg,

And they shapedy iagg

To the shade that a well-known head and shoulders

Threw there when she was gardeng.

I thought her behd y back,

Yea, her I long had learo ck,

And I said：“I a sure you are standg behd ,

Though how do you get to this old track？”
