letra de the old year - john clare - ghizela rowe

Loading...

the old year’s gone away
to nothingness and night:
we cannot find him all the day
nor hear him in the night:
he left no footstep, mark or place
in either shade or sun:
the last year he’d a neighbour’s face
in this he’s known by none

all nothing everywhere:
mists we on mornings see
have more of substance when they’re here
and more of form than he
he was a friend by every fire
in every cot and hall—
a guest to every heart’s desire
and now he’s nought at all

old papers thrown away
old garments cast aside
the talk of yesterday
are things identified;
but time once torn away
no voices can recall:
the eve of new year’s day
left the old year lost to all
