SAINT PATRICK by EDWIN MARKHAM

Poet Analysis

First Line: WANDERED FROM THE ANTRIM HILLS
Last Line: WITH THE DRUID GROVES OF OAK.
Subject(s): ST. PATRICK'S DAY;
WANDERED from the Antrim hills,
Wandered from Killalas rills,
Patrick heard upon the breeze
Voices from the Irish seas.
Folk of Fochlad called to him
From their forest deep and dim:
And in vision little hands
Beckoned from the Irish lands,
Where the western billows spoke
With the Druid groves of oak.
