THE HERONS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: As I was climbing ardan mor
Last Line: Nor any waters flow.
Variant Title(s): Ardan Mor
Subject(s): Herons


As I was climbing Ardan Mor
From the shore of Sheelan lake,
I met the herons coming down
Before the water's wake.

And they were talking in their flight
Of dreamy ways the herons go
When all the hills are withered up
Nor any waters flow.
