Poems by John Clare
To John Milton
... _"From his honoured friend, William Davenant"_ ...
Ballad
... When summer brought no fears to fright, ...
"The Lass With The Delicate Air"
... And stooping holds her hands before her face,-- ...
Early Spring
... While oer the odd flowers swim grandfather bees ...
The Shepherds Calendar - July (2nd version)
... Till noon burns with its blistering breath ...
Idle Fame
... In crowded tumults heard and hurled ...
The Sleep Of Spring
... I loved the wood, the vale, the stream, ...
Turkeys
... And struts and sprunts his tail and then lets drag ...
Impromptu
... --And thou hast heard the thorn's in flower, ...
The Shepherds Calendar - December-Christmass
... Friends meet their christmass cheer to share ...
The Firetail's Nest
... And "pink" the chaffinch cries its well-known strain, ...
Signs Of Winter
... The dog Leaps oer the orchard hedge and knarls the grass ...
Decay
... Like groves, and rocks, and mottled fountains ...
Sport In The Meadows
... And hoot and drive them from their graceless waste ...
The Lout
... And where hens lay, and when the duck will hatch ...
