FROM Arranmore the weary miles I've come; An' all the way I've heard A Shrawn that's kep' me silent, speechless, dumb, Not sayin' any word. An' was it then the Shrawn of Eire, you'll say, For him that died the death on Carrisbool? It was not that; nor was it, by the way, The Sons of Garnim blitherin' their drool; Nor was it any Crowdie of the Shee, Or Itt, or Himm, nor wail of Barryhoo For Barrywhich that stilled the tongue of me. 'Twas but my own heart cryin' out for you Magraw! Bulleen, shinnanigan, Boru, Aroon, Machree, Aboo! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND |
