Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

Grasshoppers

by John Clare

Grasshoppers go in many a thumming spring

And now to stalks of tasseled sow-grass cling,

That shakes and swees awhile, but still keeps straight;

While arching oxeye doubles with his weight.

Next on the cat-tail-grass with farther bound

He springs, that bends until they touch the ground.
