NOTES

1. William Henry Monk (1823-89) was the musical editor of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861) and the composer of the tune for the well-known “Abide with Me.”

2. Early Life, p. 103; Life, p. 78.

3. The phrase is quoted from “Lost Love”; see the notes on this poem and on “The Last Performance.”

AT THE WORD “FAREWELL,” Hardy wrote, is “literally true.” In a letter to Mrs. Arthur Henniker on February 7, 1918, he said of his poems: “I myself (naturally I suppose) like those best which are literally true—such as ‘At Lanivet,’—‘At the Word Farewell.’—‘Why Did I Sketch’ &c, &c.”1
