The hedger stopping gaps amid the leaves
That oer his head in every color weaves
The milk maid stepping with a timid look
From stone to stone across the brimming brook
The cotter journying wi his noisey swine
Along the wood ride where the brambles twine
Shaking from dinted cups the acorns brown
& from the hedges red awes dashing down
Follow me for daily #JohnClare postings.
