Thomas Hardy - I say I'll seek Her lyrics

I say, "I'll seek her side   Ere hindrance interposes;"   But eve in midnight closes, And here I still abide. When darkness wears I see   Her sad eyes in a vision;   They ask, "What indecision Detains you, Love, from me? - "The creaking hinge is oiled,   I have unbarred the backway,   But you tread not the trackway; And shall the thing be spoiled? "Far co*kcrows echo shrill,   The shadows are abating,   And I am waiting, waiting; But O, you tarry still!"
