SONG
FROM ;FLESH�此�A GEOGORIAN ODE;
EBB on with me across the sunset tide And float beyond the waters of
the world�察�The light of evening slipping from my side�察�Thy softened voice
in waves of silence furled。
Flow on into the flaming morning wine�察�Drowning the land in color。
Then on high Rise in thy candid innocence and shine Like to a poplar
straight against the sky。

IN MEMORIAM�此�FRANCIS LEDWIDGE ��Killed in action�察�July 31�察�
1917��
SOLDIER and singer of Erin�察 �What may I fashion for thee�拭 �What
garland of words or of flowers�拭�Singer of sunlight and showers�察�The wind
on the lea�察�
Of clouds�察�and the houses of Erin�察�Wee cabins�察�white on the plain�察�And
bright with the colours of even�察 �Beauty of earth and of heaven falls
Outspread beyond Slane� �night through let my mind be still�察�
Slane�察 �where the Easter of Patrick Flamed on the night of the Gael�察�
Guard both the honor and story Of him who has died for the glory That
crowns Innisfail。
Soldier of right and of freedom�察�I offer thee song and hot tears。 With
Brian�察 �and Red Hugh O'Donnell�察 �The chiefs of Tyrone and Tryconnell�察�
Live on through the years� �

EVENSONG
A SHEPHERD piping�察�herald of the Night Who comes with Silence up
the coloured vale�察�Treading low gently�察�clad in greyish white�察�Poignantly
piping�察�sound your reedy wail� �For Day departed moves in funeral train
Tended by Twilight and�察 �in deepest rose�察 �The splendid Sunset melts
beneath the main While sweet the Sea´wind with cool softness blows。 As
when a mother gathers to her breast The child who frets for Dad's
remembered smart�察 �Now Light fades quickly in the ashen west�察 �And
Night´Peace falls across my troubled heart。 Flutes�察�for the night through
let my mind be still�察�And God keep safe with Him my stubborn will� �

THE PROPHET
ALL day long he kept the sheep�此�Far and early�察�from the crowd�察�On
the hills from steep to steep�察 �Where the silence cried aloud�察 �And the
shadow of the cloud Wrapt him in a noonday sleep。
Where he dipped the water's cool�察�Filling boyish hands from thence�察�
Something breathed across the pool Stir of sweet enlightenments�察�And he
drank�察�with thirsty sense�察�Till his heart was brimmed and full。
Still�察 �the hovering Voice unshed�察�And the Vision unbeheld�察�And the
mute sky overhead�察�And his longing�察�still withheld� �Even when the two
tears welled�察�Salt�察�upon that lonely bread。
Vaguely blessed in the leaves�察 �Dim´companioned in the sun�察 �Eager
mornings�察�wistful eyes�察�Very hunger drew him on�察�And To´morrow ever
shone With the glow the sunset weaves。
Even so�察 �to that young heart�察�Words and hands and Men were dear�察�
And the stir of lane and mart After daylong vigil here。 Sunset called�察�and
he drew near�察�Still to find his path apart。
When the Bell�察�with gentle tongue�察�Called the herd´bells home again�察�
Through the purple shades he swung�察 �Down the mountain�察 �through the
glen�察�Towards the sound of fellow´men�察� Even from the light that clung。
Dimly too�察�as cloud on cloud�察�Came that silent flock of his�此�Thronging
whiteness�察 �in a crowd�察�After homing twos and threes�察 �With the longing
memories Of all white things dreamed and vowed。
Through the fragrances�察�alone�察�By the sudden´silent brook�察 �From the
open world unknown�察�To the close of speech and book�察�There to find the
foreign look In the faces of his own。
Sharing was beyond his skill�察�Shyly yet�察�he made essay�此�Sought to dip�察�
and share�察 �and fill Heart's´desire�察 �from day to day。 But their eyes�察 �some
foreign way�察�Looked at him�察�and he was still。
Last�察�he reached his arms to sleep�察�Where the Vision waited�察�dim�察�Still
beyond some deep´on´deep。
And the darkness folded him�察 �Eager heart and weary limb。 All day
long�察�he kept the sheep。

HARVEST´MOON�此�1914
OVER the twilight field�察�The overflowing field�察�Over the glimmering
field�察�And bleeding furrows with their sodden yield Of sheaves that still
did writhe�察�After the scythe�察�The teeming field and darkly overstrewn With
all the garnered fulness of that noon Two looked upon each other。 One
was a Woman men called their mother�察�And one�察�the Harvest´Moon。
And one�察�the Harvest´Moon�察�Who stood�察�who gazed On those unquiet
gleanings where they bled�察 �Till the lone Woman said�此 �But we were
crazed 。 。 。 We should laugh now together�察 �I and you�察�We two。 You�察 �for
your dreaming it was worth A star's while to look on and light the Earth�察�
And I�察�forever telling to my mind�察�Glory it was�察�and gladness�察�to give birth
To humankind� �Yes�察�I�察�that ever thought it not amiss To give the breath to
men�察�For men to slay again�此�Lording it over anguish but to give My life
that men might live For this。 You will be laughing now�察 �remembering I
called you once Dead World�察�and barren thing�察�
Yes�察�so we named you then�察�You�察�far more wise Than to give life to
men。;
Over the field�察�that there Gave back the skies A shattered upward stare
〃From blank white eyes�察�Striving awhile�察�through many a bleeding dune
Of throbbing clay�察 �but dumb and quiet soon�察 �She looked�察 �and went her
way The Harvest´Moon。

THE DARK�此�A DREAM
;HORSEMAN�察 �springing from the dark�察 �Horseman�察 �flying wild and
free�察�Tell me what shall be thy road Whither speedest far from me�拭─�

SHE said�察 �Lift high the cup� ─�Of her arm's weariness she gave no sign�察�
But�察�smiling�察�raised it up That none might see or guess it held no wine。
