John Clare - ImpromptuJohn Clare - Impromptu
Work rating: Low


"Where art thou wandering, little child?"   I said to one I met to-day.-- She pushed her bonnet up and smiled,   "I`m going upon the green to play: Folks tell me that the May`s in flower,   That cowslip-peeps are fit to pull, And I`ve got leave to spend an hour   To get this little basket full." --And thou`st got leave to spend an hour!   My heart repeated.--She was gone; --And thou hast heard the thorn`s in flower,   And childhood`s bliss is urging on: Ah, happy child! thou mak`st me sigh,   This once as happy heart of mine, Would nature with the boon comply,   How gladly would I change for thine.
