Wife to Husband
Ford Madox Hueffer
1873 to 1939
If I went past you down this hill
And you had never seen my face before,
Would all your being feel the sudden thrill
You said it felt, once more?
If I went past you through this shaw,
Would be all a-quiver at the brush
Of my trailed garments; would the sudden hush
You said the black-birds' voices had in awe
Of my first coming, fall upon the place
Once more, if you had never seen my face
Nor ever heard my passing by before,
And nought had passed of all that was of yore?
Ford Madox Hueffer's Wife to Husband
I am busy working to bring Ford Madox Hueffer's "Wife to Husband" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Ford Madox Hueffer's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Wife to Husband" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
