Poems by John Clare
The Shepherds Calendar - April
... Those joys which childhood claims its own ...
Dewdrops
... And where the dew lies on the primrose, the violet and whitethorn leaves ...
Sunday Dip
... Beneath the willow trees they ride and stoop-- ...
The Beautiful Stranger
... When England knew thee thou wert passing fair ...
December
... And children, 'tween their parent's knees, ...
The Peasant Poet
... And when the evening rack was reared ...
Rural Morning
... Whose sun-burnt skin, and cheeks chuffed out with fat, ...
Stonepit
... The boy that stands and kills the black nosed bee ...
The Yellowhammer
... In early spring, when winds blow chilly cold, ...
Now Is Past
... Wild strawberries which both gathered then, ...
The Poet's Death
... There lies the book he used to read, ...
The Crow Sat On The Willow
... And all the fields with music rung ...
Grasshoppers
... That shakes and swees awhile, but still keeps straight ...
The Ants
... Prove they have kings and laws, and that they be ...
Spear Thistle
... Armed warriors, waiting neither suns nor showers, ...
