Into the Twilight

OUT-WORN heart,in a time out-worn,
Come clear of the nets of wrong and right;
Laugh heart again in the gray twilight,
Sigh,heart,again in the dew of the morn.


Your mother Eire is always young,
Dew ever shining and twilight gray;
Though hope fall from you and love decay,
Burning in fires of a slanderous tongue.


Come,heart,where hill is heaped upon hill:
For there the mystical brotherhood
Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
And river and stream work out their will;


And God stands winding His lonely horn,
And time and the world are ever in flight;
And love is less kind than the gray twilight,
And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn

Hi Mick and Jeanie. ...thanks for pointing out the Irish author. ..I will check it out.

Hi again Lisa.....very clever of you.

Yes I know her, and yes she is a very sweet and adorable girl. She is also VERY shy. It took me months just to get one picture from her....

Thank you Lisa.
