Clare

Famous quotes containing the word clare:

    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)

    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)

    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)
