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....”

As that I stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.”

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