Spring's Messengers

14 lines
John Clare·1793–1864·Romanticism
✦
here slanting banks are always with the sun The daisy is in blossom even now;And where warm patches by the hedges run The cottager when coming home from ploughBrings home a cowslip root in flower to set.Thus ere the Christmas goes the spring is met Setting up little tents about the fieldsIn sheltered spots.--Primroses when they get Behind the wood's old roots, where ivy shieldsTheir crimpled, curdled leaves, will shine and hide. Cart ruts and horses' footings scarcely yield A slur for boys, just crizzled and that's all.Frost shoots his needles by the small dyke side, And snow in scarce a feather's seen to fall.
