Tribute to John Clare for Oklahoma Rose

 

 

 

Tribute to John Clare.

 

Love lies beyond.

The tomb, the earth which fade like dew.

I love the fond

 the faithful and the true.

 

John Clare 1793 = 1867

 

A glosa

 

Love lies beyond

all of our dreams old and new.

The silken bond

which binds me to you.

 

Fair Rosamonde

The tomb, the earth which fade like dew.

No magic wand

 can make me forget you.

 

I must respond.

There’s nothing else that I can do.

I love the fond memories

 that I cling to.

 

I have donned

 sackcloth garments and ashes too.

For you have gone.

The faithful and the true
