A Specimen of Clare's rough drafts	A
	-
In a huge cloud of mountain hue	B
The sun sets dark nor shudders through	B
One single beam to shine again	C
Tis night already in the lane	D
	-
The settled clouds in ridges lie	E
And some swell mountains calm and high	E
	-
Clouds rack and drive before the wind	F
In shapes and forms of every kind	F
Like waves that rise without the roars	G
And rocks that guard untrodden shores	G
Now castles pass majestic bye	E
And ships in peaceful havens lie	E
These gone ten thousand shapes ensue	B
For ever beautiful and new	B
	-
The scattered clouds lie calm and still	H
And day throws gold on every hill	H
Their thousand heads in glorys run	I
As each were worlds and owned a sun	I
The rime it clings to every thing	J
It beards the early buds of spring	J
The mossy pales the orchard spray	K
Are feathered with its silver grey	K
	-
Rain drizzles in the face so small	L
We scarce can say it rains at all	L
	-
The cows turned to the pelting rain	D
No longer at their feed remain	D
But in the sheltering hovel hides	M
That from two propping dotterels strides	M
	-
The sky was hilled with red and blue	B
With lighter shadows waking through	B
Till beautiful and beaming day	K
Shed streaks of gold for miles away	K
	-
The linnet stopt her song to clean	N
Her spreading wings of yellow green	N
And turn his head as liking well	O
To smooth the dropples as they fell	O
	-
One scarce could keep one's path aright	K
From gazing upward at the sight	K
	-
The boys for wet are forced to pass	P
The cuckoo flowers among the grass	P
To hasten on as well they may	K
For hedge or tree or stack of hay	K
Where they for shelter can abide	K
Safe seated by its sloping side	K
That by the blackthorn thicket cowers	P
A shelter in the strongest showers	P
	-
The gardens golden gilliflowers	P
Are paled with drops of amber showers	P
	-
Dead leaves from hedges flirt about	K
The chaff from barn doors winnows out	K
And down without a wing to flye	E
As fast as bees goes sailing bye	E
The feather finds a wing to flye	E
And dust in wirl puffs winnows bye	E
	-
When the rain at midday stops	P
Spangles glitter in the drops	P
And as each thread a sunbeam was	P
Cobwebs glitter in the grass	P
	-
The sheep all loaded with the rain	D
Try to shake it off in vain	D
And ere dryed by wind and sun	I
The load will scarcely let them run	I
	-
The shepherds foot is sodden through	B
And leaves will clout his brushing shoe	B
The buttercups in gold alloyed	K
And daiseys by the shower destroyed	K
	-
The sun is overcast clouds lie	E
And thicken over all the sky	E
	-
Crows morn and eve will flock in crowds	P
To fens and darken like the clouds	P
So many is their cumberous flight	K
The dull eve darkens into night	K
	-
Clouds curl and curdle blue and grey	K
And dapple the young summers day	K
	-
Through the torn woods the violent rain	D
Roars and rattles oer the plain	D
And bubbles up in every pool	Q
Till dykes and ponds are brimming full	R
	-
The thickening clouds move slowly on	S
Till all the many clouds are one	I
That spreads oer all the face of day	K
And turns the sunny shine to grey	K
	-
Now the meadow water smokes	P
And hedgerows dripping oaks	P
Fitter patter all around	K
And dimple the once dusty ground	K
The spinners threads about the weeds	P
Are hung with little drops in beads	P
Clover silver green becomes	P
And purple blue surrounds the plumbs	P
And every place breaths fresh and fair	T
When morning pays her visit there	T
	-
The day is dull the heron trails	P
On flapping wings like heavy sails	P
And oer the mead so lowly swings	P
She fans the herbage with her wings	P
	-
The waterfowl with suthering wings	P
Dive down the river splash and spring	J
Up to the very clouds again	C
That sprinkle scuds of coming rain	D
That flye and drizzle all the day	K
Till dripping grass is turned to grey	K
	-
The various clouds that move or lye	E
Like mighty travellers in the sky	E
All mountainously ridged or curled	K
That may have travelled round the world	K
	-
The water ruckles into waves	P
And loud the neighbouring woodland raves	P
All telling of the coming storm	U
That fills the village with alarm	V
	-
Ere yet the sun is two hours high	E
Winds find all quarters of the sky	E
With sudden shiftings all around	K
And now the grass upon the ground	K
And now the leaves they wirl and wirl	R
With many a flirting flap and curl	R
