What poems did Thomas Hardy write after Emma Hardy’s death?

Following the death of his first wife, Emma Hardy, in 1912, Thomas Hardy was moved to write a series of poems reflecting his deep regret and remorse. These works, collectively known as the "Poems of 1912–13," are widely considered the peak of his poetic achievement.1

Specific poems from this period include:

• "After a Journey"1
• "The Voice"1

These poems were first published in his 1914 collection, Satires of Circumstance. While Hardy continued to be highly productive in his later years—publishing volumes such as Moments of Vision (1917), Late Lyrics and Earlier (1922), Human Shows (1925), and the posthumous Winter Words (1928)—the "Poems of 1912–13" remain the most significant works directly inspired by the loss of his wife.1
