on account of a curse from his master which was to be endured for a year and

of the daughter of Janaka1 and whose shade trees grew in profusion.
A World For Love
© John Clare
Oh, the world is all too rude for thee, with much ado and care;

That place would prove a paradise when thou and Love were near.

Across grey widths of wild-faced sea,
The lordly anthems of the Pole,
Are loud upon the lea.

Here the vast daughters of the eastward tide,
Heaved from the bosoms of the' Atlantic deep,
Lay down the burthen of their mighty forms,
Like some diviner natures of our kind,

Bows me, and praise must find relief

Parent of dreams! thou great Magician! say,
Whence my late vision thus endures the light,
Thus haunts my fancy through the glare of day?

The things that Mortals love are mortal too
& swiftly transient fleet before the view
Or if with man a longer while they stay
Man swiftly transient fleets himself away.
