MY LOVE, THOU ART A NOSEGAY SWEET

12 lines
John Clare·1793–1864·Romanticism
✦
y love, thou art a nosegay sweet,My sweetest flower I prove thee;And pleas’d I pin thee to my breast,And dearly do I love thee. And when, my nosegay, thou shalt fade,As sweet a flower thou’lt prove thee;And as thou witherest on my breast,For beauty past I’ll love thee. And when, my nosegay, thou shalt die,And heaven’s flower shalt prove thee;My hopes shall follow to the sky,And everlasting love thee.
