John Clare - A vision
Work rating: Low

I lost the love of heaven above,
I spurned the lust of earth below,
I felt the sweets of fancied love
And hell itself my only foe.

I lost earth`s joys but felt the glow
Of heaven`s flame abound in me
Till loveliness and I did grow
The bard of immortality.

I loved but woman fell away
I hid me from her faded fame,
I snatched the sun`s eternal ray
And wrote till earth was but a name

In every language upon earth,
On every shore, o`er every sea,
I give my name immortal birth
And kept my spirit with the free.
