A very well constructed, patterned love poem.He admits that he, an older man, loved a younger woman but he was stood up. 'You did not come'.

A touching poem of disappointment from a loved one.

Marvelous picturization of the longing and state of mind of a one sided love while waiting for a look at the beloved hoping she will turn up and keep the unsolicited appointment.

I recommend Hardy's novel " Jude The Obscure" IF you like/don't mind depressing circumstances. A PH friend suggested i read it and i did, several years ago. bri :)

She probably had an automobile accident; well a horse and carriage accident in Hardy's days perhaps. She's ONLY a woman! ! ! What did you expect? ! ! bri :)))))))))))

So beautifully this poem is composed by Thomas Hardy. I appreciate it.

Such a beautiful poem! ! Like to read again and again. Loved it.

A Broken Appointment, You did not come for, you did not love, fine... but I'm still disappointed... for, heart has reasons of which head can't appreciate. lovely indeed...

my,life

I am disappointed, not that you don’t love me, but that you are not the kind of person who, in spite of not loving me, in spite of having lost the accidental loyalty of deep feeling, would give up just an hour of yours, worth so little in itself, in order to bring out the true value of compassion at its most human, which is that it is not so fickle or selective, not so irresponsible, as love.

So simple but heart touching

This poem revels many secret of life.

Best perception of grief.
