The Farmer's Bride
1916
The Farmer's Bride is a poetry collection by Charlotte Mary Mew, first published in 1916. The titular poem recounts the troubled marriage of a farmer and his bride, exploring themes of love, alienation, and emotional disconnect. Mew's verses reflect the complexities of human relationships and the emotional landscape of early 20th-century life, blending realism with a yearning for connection. An expanded edition was released in 1921, further solidifying Mew's impact on English poetry.

“A Quoi Bon Dire"Seventeen years ago you saidSomething that sounded like Good-bye;And everybody thinks that you are dead,But I.So I, as I grow stiff and coldTo this and that say Good-bye too;And everybody sees that I am oldBut you.And one fine morning in a sunny laneSome boy and girl will meet and kiss and swearThat nobody can love their way again,While over thereYou will have smiled, I shall have tossed your hair.””
— Charlotte Mary Mew
