Thomas Hardy's poem “Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave,” is about the thoughts of a person who is dead. The woman who is dead and he buried in her grave feels that someone is digging her grave. She thinks that it would be her husband. In reality, her husband was much busy with his new love life after her death. Every time she guesses about the person who would be looking for her, the person is seen to be busy in their life or had even forgotten about her. After failing at each of her guesses, she comes to know that it is her dog who was digging her grave. But at the same time, the dog's intention of digging the grave comes out that it was searching for bones. Hardy presents a deep thought about the importance of a person after his death.
