What is hardy songs written?

Thomas Hardy was not known for writing songs; he was a prominent English novelist and poet in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, he did write some poems that have been set to music by composers and turned into songs. One example of this is the poem "When I Set Out for Lyonnesse" which was set to music by Ivor Gurney and became a popular art song. Hardy's poems are known for their melancholic and introspective themes, often reflecting on the passing of time, lost love, and the harsh realities of life.
