i am - john clare - jan francis lyrics

Loading...

i am! yet what i am who cares, or knows?
my friends forsake me like a memory lost
i am the self*consumer of my woes
they rise and vanish, an oblivious host
shadows of life, whose very soul is lost
and yet i am—i live—though i am toss’d

into the nothingness of scorn and noise
into the living sea of waking dream
where there is neither sense of life, nor joys
but the huge shipwreck of my own esteem
and all that’s dear. even those i loved the bеst
are strange—nay, they arе stranger than the rest

i long for scenes where man has never trod
for scenes where woman never smiled or wept;
there to abide with my creator, god
and sleep as i in childhood sweetly slept
full of high thoughts, unborn. so let me lie
the grass below; above the vaulted sky
