The Evening Primrose When once the sun sinks in the west, And dew-drops pearl the evening's breast; Almost as pale as moonbeams are, Or its companionable star, The evening primrose opes anew Its delicate blossoms to the dew And hermit-like, shunning the light, Wastes its fair bloom upon the night; Who, blindfold to its fond caresses, Knows not the beauty he possesses. Thus it blooms on while night is by. When day looks out with open eye, 'Bashed at the gaze it cannot shun, It faints and withers and is gone. - John Clare Tha Ballad of the Green Broom There was an old man lived out in the wood, And his trade was a-cutting of broom, green broom, He had but one son without thought without good Who lay in his bed till 'twas noon, bright noon. The old man awoke one morning and spoke, He swore he would fire the room, that room, - If his John would not rise and open his eyes, And away to the wood to cut broom, green broom. So Johnny arose and slipp' d on his clothes And away to the wood to cut broom, green broom, He sharpen'd his knives, and for once he contrives To cut a great bundle of broom, green broom. When Johnny pass' d under a Lady's fine house, Pass' d under a Lady's fine room, fine room, She call'd to her maid: "Go fetch me," she said, "Go fetch me the boy that sells broom, green broom!" When Johnny came into the Lady's fine house, And stood in the Lady's fine room, fine room, "Young Johnny" she said, "Will you give up your trade And marry a lady in bloom, full bloom?" Johnny gave his consent, and to church they both went, And he wedded the Lady in bloom, full bloom; At market and fair, all folks do declare, There's none like the boy that sold broom, green broom.
