Clare

Famous quotes containing the word clare:

    Spirit of her I love,
    Whispering to me,
    Stories of sweet visions, as I rove,
    Here stop, and crop with me
    Sweet flowers that in the still hour grew,
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    Hesperus thy twinkling ray
    Beams in the blue of heaven
    And tells the traveller on his way
    That earth shall be forgiven
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    In the cowslips peeps I lie,
    Hidden from the buzzing fly,
    While green grass beneath me lies,
    Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
    Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
    Waiting for the time o’ day.
    —John Clare (1793–1864)
