The early poems of John Clare | ||
[Thrice welcome to thy slumbering peace o Grave]
Thrice welcome to thy slumbering peace o GraveTho when as yet thou art I know it not
Thee I address as death the stroke had gave
& laid me happy in thy silent spot
O could I lay me down with thee in peace
Would Death but be my friend I should be blest
With thee the wicked from their troubling cease
With thee the weary lie & are at rest
