The Dying Child
Written by John Clare (13 July 1793–20 May 1864) who was an English poet. The son of a farm labourer, he became known for his celebrations of the English countryside. He is one of my favourite poets but this poem is hard for me to read.
BY JOHN CLARE
He could not die when trees were green,
For he loved the time too well.
