Young Lambs

April 26, 2010 by Dr. V

The spring is coming by a many signs;
The trays are up, the hedges broken down,

IMG_8378

That fenced the haystack, and the remnant shines
Like some old antique fragment weathered brown.

IMG_8297

And where suns peep, in every sheltered place,
The little early buttercups unfold

IMG_8351

A glittering star or two—till many trace
The edges of the blackthorn clumps in gold.

IMG_8331

And then a little lamb bolts up behind
The hill and wags his tail to meet the yoe,

IMG_8313

And then another, sheltered from the wind,
Lies all his length as dead—and lets me go

IMG_6967

Close bye and never stirs but baking lies,
With legs stretched out as though he could not rise.

-John Clare (1920)
