I see thy purple hills!--once more
I hear the billows of the bay
Wash the white pebbles on thy shore.
If You Should Pass
© Dora Sigerson Shorter

And would bring slander where it cannot bless,
Give me but silence where good friendship waned,
Grant me the mercy of forgetfulness.

Down the murmuring slopes of the echoing hill-

She speaks in her way of her savage seas
With unknown algae and unknown sands;
Between Sleep and Waking

Softly call a cuckoo bird
Between sleep and waking.

Orion: But an understanding tacit.
You have prospered much since the day we met;
You were then a landless knight;

I sustain you with all my powers

Three roses, wan as moonlight, and weighed down

Farmer Downs Changes His Opinion Of Nature

"No," said old Farmer Downs to me,
"I ain't the facts denyin',
That all young folks in love must be,
As birds must be a-flyin'.
Don't go agin sech facts, because
I'm one as re-specks Natur's laws.

Did first his beauty wake her sighs?

The beauty in her Lover's eyes
Was admiration of her own.

The eyes she lifts to mine,
That laugh and laugh and never tell
The half that they divine!
Rural Morning
© John Clare
And now, when toil and summer's in its prime,
In every vill, at morning's earliest time,
To early-risers many a Hodge is seen,
And many a Dob's heard clattering oer the green.
