Roll Tide


 Roll tide

john clare 


I've been within 

The oceans waves 

What seems a 

Thousand eighteen

Twenty three days

I've prayed what 

Seems times three

And three 

That they may purge

Me to the shore

That there be some

Respite in some 

Castle of sand

Yet just the time I

Breech to stand

The tide returns 

And I roll

Time and three times

Three

Again.
