Beautiful Irish Poem
by Thomas Moore
the greatest Irish lyrist
born Dublin, 1779 - died 1852
Have you not seen the timid tear
Steal trembling from mine eye?
Have you not mark'd the flush of fear,
Or caught the murmur'd sigh?
And can you think my love is chill,
Nor fix'd on you alone?
And can you rend, by doubting still,
A heart so much your own?
To you my soul's affections move
Devoutly, warmly, true:
My life has been a task of love,
One long, long thought of you.
If all your tender faith is o'er,
If still my truth you'll try;
Alas! I know but one proof more -
I'll bless your name, and die!

And raise children to the future of wealth.....Kathaleen No Houlihan......one of them
So grand your mind to share Lady Dianne,thank`s so much for sharing.......

LEDA AND THE SWAN
A sudden blow:the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl,her thighs carressed
By the dark webs,her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body,laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall,the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
This from William Buttler Yeats 1924......................

You guys are great! Anyone who doesn't read the back and forth and the sharing in between have only themselves to blame. I was going to do my taxes this weekend but this came up and once again I have to read this journal from Genesis to pause. I can't thank you all enough for this enlightenment and the many enlightenment moments to come. God never said what the acute observer's inherit who are the poets and those who analyze them-- I think they get the balance of the universe that the meek do not get. God bless you all in these tough times.
