Of All of IrelandA Poem by NazerethOf all the gold in Ireland Your eyes are richest still Rivers running from sweetened rain Green lands, freshly tilled. Of all the beauties of the world Bagpipes bellowing songs still You still are the most stunning, my love From hot summers to winter's chills. Of all the spirits of Ireland Your flame is nothing less than the sun Laughter echoing through the trees Heard by the deafened, blind and dumb You, my love, are most precious to me You have me by my core Though your body is ash, your soul remains Dancing on the Eastern Shore. So as long as this work remains To be read, scorned and known It will and forever be your eulogy Of someone not quite gone. © 2011 Nazereth |
