Blue-bells grew thick in Braughan; There wor foxgloves in the glen. Ay, I mind the childer liltin' An' they whistlin' wid the men. 'Twas rain fell soft in Braughan, By thon far bit fields av green; An' 'twas kindly winds, I'm thinkin', Swept the lonesome wee boreen! There's blue bewhiles in Braughan; Ay, an' pink in Foxglove Glen; But who be the wide-eyed childer, Ay, who be the grey-beard men? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES BY AUGHNA BRAE by AGNES ITA HANRAHAN |
