And saw, below, many devils

Running, leaping,

And carousing in sin.

Love Lives Beyond the Tomb

24 lines
John Clare·1793–1864·Romanticism
✦
Love lives beyondThe tomb, the earth, which fades like dew! I love the fond,The faithful, and the true.  Love lives in sleep,The happiness of healthy dreams: Eve's dews may weep,But love delightful seems.  Tis seen in flowers,And in the morning's pearly dew; In earth's green hours,And in the heaven's eternal blue.  Tis heard in SpringWhen light and sunbeams, warm and kind, On angel's wingBring love and music to the mind.  And where is voice,So young, so beautiful, and sweet As Nature's choice,Where Spring and lovers meet?  Love lives beyondThe tomb, the earth, the flowers, and dew. I love the fond,The faithful, young and true.
