Poems by John Clare
Summer Images
... And laughing Joy, with wild flowers prank'd, and crown'd, ...
The Dying Child
... Birds' nests and eggs caused no surprise, ...
The Cellar Door
... --But he laughed and danced up, What, old boy, are you there ...
Gipsies
... Then feels the heat too strong, and goes aloof ...
Written in Northampton County Asylum
... For scenes where woman never smiled or wept ...
Field Path
... The hedge briar rose hung right across the path, ...
Song #4
... As quick as thoughts can fly, ...
The Shepherds Calendar - February - A Thaw
... Neath hedge and walls that screen the wind ...
The Old Cottagers
... Their neighbour's name was peace, with her they went, ...
Fragment
... Roars of a million tongues, and none knows what they mean ...
Approaching Night
... I've thought how richer folks were blest ...
Mary Bateman
... Than those rose cheeks and those bright eyes ...
Distant Hills
... * * The poets in the tales they tell ...
The Shepherds Calendar - November
... Fancying that ghosts may wake, and leave their graves by day ...
A vision
... I lost earth's joys but felt the glow ...
