Classic poem

Meet Me in the Green Glen

by John Clare

Love, meet me in the green glen,

Beside the tall elm tree,

Where the sweet briar smells so sweet agen;

There come with me,

Meet me in the green glen.

Meet me at the sunset

Down in the green glen,

Where we've often met

By hawthorn tree and foxes' den,

Meet me in the green glen.

Meet me in the green glen,

By sweet briar bushes there;

Meet me by your own sen,

Where the wild thyme blossoms fair.

Meet me in the green glen.

Meet me by the sweet briar,

By the mole hill swelling there;

When the West glows like a fire

God's crimson bed is there.

Meet me in the green glen.
