TO IRELAND IN THE COMING TIMES

 

 

Know, that I would accounted be

 

True brother of a company

 

That sang, to sweeten Ireland's wrong,

 

Ballad and story, rann and song;

 

Nor be I any less of them,

 

Because the red-rose-bordered hem

 

Of her, whose history began

 

Before God made the angelic clan,

 

Trails all about the written page.

 

When Time began to rant and rage

 

The measure of her flying feet

 

Made Ireland's heart begin to beat;

 

And Time bade all his candles flare

 

To light a measure here and there;

 

And may the thoughts of Ireland brood

 

Upon a measured guietude.

 

Nor may I less be counted one

 

With Davis, Mangan, Ferguson,

 

Because, to him who ponders well,

 

My rhymes more than their rhyming tell

 

Of things discovered in the deep,

 

Where only body's laid asleep.

 

For the elemental creatures go

 

About my table to and fro,

 

That hurry from unmeasured mind

 

To rant and rage in flood and wind,

Yet he who treads in measured ways

May surely barter gaze for gaze.

 

Man ever journeys on with them

 

After the red-rose-bordered hem.

 

Ah, faeries, dancing under the moon,

 

A Druid land, a Druid tune.!

 

While still I may, I write for you

 

The love I lived, the dream I knew.

 

From our birthday, until we die,

 

Is but the winking of an eye;

 

And we, our singing and our love,

 

What measurer Time has lit above,

 

And all benighted things that go

 

About my table to and fro,

 

Are passing on to where may be,

 

In truth's consuming ecstasy,

 

No place for love and dream at all;

 

For God goes by with white footfall.

 

I cast my heart into my rhymes,

 

That you, in the dim coming times,

 

May know how my heart went with them

 

After the red-rose-bordered hem.
