A Thunderstorm in Town


Listen to:

A Thunderstorm in Town (:43)

by Thomas Hardy

performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode




She wore a 'terra-cotta' dress,
And we stayed, because of the pelting storm,
Within the hansom's dry recess,
Though the horse had stopped; yea, motionless
We sat on, snug and warm.

Then the downpour ceased, to my sharp sad pain,
And the glass that had screened our forms before
Flew up, and out she sprang to her door:
I should have kissed her if the rain

Had lasted a minute more.
