the moment of one fall by john clare
Is not it the proof of God,
that only I saw it fall,
and even thought at all,
of one leaf in the yard?
And days since that fall,
and a million leaves later,
I esteem this one no greater,
yet single it out above all.
Only God could give the man,
sympathy for the one leaf,
help us blind in unbelief,
to recall the leaf and understand.
