Grasshoppers

Title:     Grasshoppers
Author: John Clare [More Titles by Clare]

Grasshoppers go in many a thumming spring
And now to stalks of tasseled sow-grass cling,
That shakes and swees awhile, but still keeps straight;
While arching oxeye doubles with his weight.
Next on the cat-tail-grass with farther bound
He springs, that bends until they touch the ground.

[The end]
John Clare's poem: Grasshoppers
