"The driving boy"
di John Clare (1793-1864)

The driving boy beside his team of Maymonth's beauty now will dream. And cock his hat, and turn his eye On flower and tree and deep'ning sky; And oft burst loud in fits of song, and whistle as he reels along, Cracking his whip in starts of joy A happy, happy, dirty, driving boy.
