John Clare - Field Path lyrics

The beams in blossom with their spots of jet Smelt sweet as gardens wheresoever met; The level meadow gra** was in the swath; The hedge briar rose hung right across the path, White over with its flowers--the gra** that lay Bleaching beneath the twittering heat to hay Smelt so deliciously, the puzzled bee Went wondering where the honey sweets could be; And pa**er-bye along the level rows Stoopt down and whipt a bit beneath his nose.
