Whispering to me,

Here stop, and crop with me
Sweet flowers that in the still hour grew,”

To cold Clare rock and Galway rock and thorn,
To that stern colour and that delicate line
That are our secret discipline
Wherein the gazing heart doubles her might....”

Beams in the blue of heaven
And tells the traveller on his way
That earth shall be forgiven”
