I love the creativity, shape, depth and brilliance displayed in this poem my friend. ""When the horn sounds across the valleys, resting birds begin to fly* Irish boys will be drinking at O'Malley's, singing, dreaded death comes nigh.* *Death comes nigh.*""

Those verses floweth from my pen , in a poem I wrote long ago.. I have it here somewhere, perhaps I could find it if I searched hard enough. Seems like it was from the mid 70's.. if my bad memory serves me well on that.
