Many-Hued Pubs Bid Me Welcome

Many-hued pubs bid me welcome
   As would friends on the street
And so does Cromwell Bridge
   Where long ago we first met.

I see the fields where we played
   And plucked up the kerry violets.
I gaze out over the dark bay
   Reflecting our lives as glass.

Memories live but a season
   And like a photograph
And erelong, I will be as one
   Fading - crumbling fast.

When you are old and banjaxed
   Will you still remember
And find there my countenance
   Among the leas of Kenmare?
