One Moment Just to Drink the Sound

The more I listened and the more
Each note seemed sweeter then before
And aye so different was the strain
Shed scarce repeat the notes again
Chee chew chew chew and higher still
Cheer cheer cheer cheer more loud and shrill
Cheer up cheer up cheer up and dropt
Low tweet tweet tweet jug jug jug and stopt
One moment just to drink the sound
Her music made and then a round
Of stranger witching notes was heard.

John Clare, “The progress of Ryme”
