THRO' BOGAC BAN, by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE Poet's Biography
First Line: I met the silent wandering man
Last Line: Of bogac ban once more I go.
First Line: I met the silent wandering man
Last Line: Of bogac ban once more I go.
I MET the Silent Wandering Man,
Thro' Bogac Ban he made his way,
Humming a slow old Irish tune,
On Joseph Plunkett's wedding day.
And all the little whispering things
That love the springs of Bogac Ban,
Spread some new rumour round the dark
And turned their faces from the dawn.
. . . . .
My hand upon my harp I lay,
I cannot say what things I know;
To meet the Silent Wandering Man
Of Bogac Ban once more I go.
