Thomas Hardy - The Background And The Figure lyrics

(Lover's Ditty) I think of the slope where the rabbits fed, Of the periwinks' rockwork lair, Of the fuchsias ringing their bells of red - And the something else seen there. Between the blooms where the sod basked bright, By the bobbing fuchsia trees, Was another and yet more eyesome sight - The sight that richened these. I shall seek those beauties in the spring, When the days are fit and fair, But only as foils to the one more thing That also will flower there!
