John Clare - Summer WindsJohn Clare - Summer Winds
Work rating: Low


The wind waves oer the meadows green   And shakes my own wild flowers And shifts about the moving scene   Like the life of summer hours; The little bents with reedy head,   The scarce seen shapes of flowers, All kink about like skeins of thread   In these wind-shaken hours. All stir and strife and life and bustle   In everything around one sees; The rushes whistle, sedges rustle,   The grass is buzzing round like bees; The butterflies are tossed about   Like skiffs upon a stormy sea; The bees are lost amid the rout   And drop in [their] perplexity. Wilt thou be mine, thou bonny lass?   Thy drapery floats so gracefully; We`ll walk along the meadow grass,   We`ll stand beneath the willow tree. We`ll mark the little reeling bee   Along the grassy ocean rove, Tossed like a little boat at sea,   And interchange our vows of love.
