All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.
John Clare

This is not one of Clare's best poems. He is much better when describing nature in detail rather than trying to be Wordsworthian and philosophizing. Some of these descriptions, like 'Little Trotty Wagtail', for example are delightful, humorous and exact.

His praise of Nature is really overwhelming the heart!

The beauty of nature, its glory untold.
Its birth and death, goes on and on.
Unending life, not just like man.
Thanks John, you brought the work of nature into my life tonight.

Anyone recognize this gem?
our years seem darkened to a church for you
in which your face alone shines through
the air is thick with the remembered scent of you
Is it 'flowery, cloudy (sic) nonsense'?

Flowery, cloudy, nonsense. Clare can do much better.

CLARA - seems to be hearing things of truths and reality's in the wilds of life. Telling of gentle things surrounding our reality. {{ Surely a vintage poem }}

I don't just like the message, i love the entire composition. The meaning is like a summer morning, the lines flow like tide and it stays like blood in my vein.

I can see where you are coming from. Nature is beautiful I must argree. The earth is a lovely place. Lets hope it lives on for many years to come without us killing it.

I love the message here.
I am, however, a bit confused as to the pattern of the poem. Did you mean to rhyme? If so, what pattern were you attempting? That aspect detracts from the impact of this piece.
The mark of a true poet is the ability to see things as they are to the mind and spirit, rather than as they appear to be on the surface. You let this quality shine in this work. Excellent!
