John Clare was an English poet and came to be known for his celebratory representations of the English Country side. Most of his poems underwent a re-evaluation in the 20th century and is now considered as the most important poet of the 19th century.
During his time he was known as the Northamptonshire Peasant Poet. Since he did not have a formal education, he never used standardized English grammar in his poetry and prose. Since he was not among most of the other peasants, his poetry always circled around nature and the beauty it held. Since he was a part of the Industrial Revolution, he was moved to city life and he missed the country side lifestyle and the calmness it held.
This poem, All nature has a Feeling is a true expression of natures beauty. In this poem, the poet clearly explains that, all things in nature have feelings, be it the trees, the woods, the fields, the brooks and anything in nature has a life. They pass their life silently and beautifully, enjoying each day and the blessings they have received. Their happiness is said beyond words and that is expressed as the beauty to the nature.
The fourth line states that, there is nothing mortal in them, as they unlike humans have eternal life. And after their lifespan, they decay and new off springs do come up with a bloom to replace them the same way they were in all its glory and beauty.
