The early poems of John Clare | ||
[I hate to see mans strength employd]
I hate to see mans strength employdTo desolate the wood
To see a favourite tree destroyd
That has for ages stood
To see the stript oak stretchd its length
A mournful thought the scene attends
Those seem thats left still green in strength
To mourn their fallen friends
