The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy.

I adore the description of winter and this poem makes me realise that even in the bleakest of times there is always hope.

The national survey says that "If', by Rudyard Kipling",is the favourite followed by Wordsworths Daffodils. As at the moment we all have daffodils in bloom and an original copy of Wordsworth's has been returned to Dove cottage.What would yours be mine is "St.Agnes Eve" by Coolridge.
