THE AUTUMN ROBIN by JOHN CLARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: SWEET LITTLE BIRD IN RUSSET COAT
Last Line: MY LONELINESS RELIEVES.
Subject(s): ROBINS;
Sweet little bird in russet coat,
The livery of the closing year,
I love thy lonely plaintive note
And tiny whispering song to hear,
While on the stile or garden seat
I sit to watch the falling leaves,
The song thy little joys repeat
My loneliness relieves.
