Lovley insect haste away
Greet once more the sunny day
Leave o leave the mirky barn
Ere trapping spiders thee discern
If they do they will beset
Thy golden wings in filmy net
Then alls in vain to set thee free
Hopes all lost for Liberty
Soon theyl drag thee in the wall
Suck thy downy form and all
Murder tho a base employ
Tis the spiders only joy
Then lovley insect haste away
Greet once more the sunny day
Never think that I belie
Never fear a [summer] skie
I will be speaking: 11am Saturday, 28th March
At the John Clare Cottage in Helpston
to the title, “The Woke John Clare”
