Subject(s): Home; Ireland; Rainbows; Summer; World War I; Irish; First World War
A burst of sudden wings at dawn
Faint voices in a dreamy noon,
Evenings of mist and murmurings,
And nights with rainbows of the moon.
And through these things a wood-way dim,
And waters dim, and slow sheep seen
On uphill paths that wind away
Through summer sounds and harvest green.
This is a song robin sang
This morning on a broken tree,
It was about the little fields
That call across the world to me.
