Upon the rushed floor.
It plyeth mosaicate from out my thought.
Lucid it creels through battlement and prepapace.
Upon this tower, I cleveth Erin’s loved lorne lore.
It’s marshed earth with braided stench of wilded...

Caws a lament, a mournful chime.
Is it winter's grip he fears,
Or a world grown cold, with unseen tears?
The curlew pipes a mournful song,
Across the...

The British SeashoreOn the cliff at the Worm’s Head
High above the horns of the bay
I see the surfers ride great waves
With horses’ manes

You were

and my soul too.
You weren’t
just a parching wind
for me.
My still...
