Beautiful Irish Poem
Song
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!

Pierre,
sounds good about the experiences you had with your car!
i've still yet to witness that myself. Four more years or so and i'll be ready...
But i do like to nick my dad's car trader magazine every now and then and have a peep!
Conor.

WORDS
I had this thought a while ago,
My darling cannot understand
What I have done,or what would do
In the blind bitter land'.
And I grew weary of the sun
Until my thoughts cleared up again,
Remembering that the best I have done
Was done to make it plain;
That every year I have cried,'At length
My darling understand it all,
Because I have come into my strength,
And words obey my call';
That had she done so who can say
What would have shaken from the sieve?
I might have thrown poor words away
And been content to live.
William Butler Yeats.......................(1910).......

Lady Dianne,
That poem i posted was really the first major one i did I tend to write smaller ones, but i'll try and write a fairy or wee man poem just for you!
my take a few days or so... do you write poems yourself? It'll be great to hear one from you...
Conor.

THOUGHTS
Today under a summer tree
Looking for shade,t`was sitting,
Wondering about in my thoughts.
Still the one always yearning for
Ireland came,remembering past time,
Mostly people.
Sean and Paddy`s voices rang
Like my inner soul cried,
Whanted them to appear
In front of me.
Like I needed two more arms,
To feel and touch
So happy moments past by,
In that old pub near Fintown.
Salty air coming from Gweebara Bay
Still inside my nose,
Made me what I am
Left my heart in the ground in Fintown.

Pierre,
‘Thoughts’ . . . in those frequent moments when I get a little nostalgic for Ireland I know that I can come to this forum and be instantly in touch with that little Island far across the sea – thanks to your wonderful poetry. Somehow, Gweebara Bay seems that little bit closer.
