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!

...........................................TO A CHILD DANCING IN THE WIND............
Dance there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water`s roar ?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool`s triumph,nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
Nor the best labourer dead
And all the sheaves to bind.
What need have you to dread
The monstrous crying of wind?
From W B Yeats...........................1912 to all my friends on LiveIreland
One phrase comes in my mind as I read this poem
Do not take everything for granted......short is life better be aware......!!!

...........................................A COAT........................................................
I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in a world`s eyes
As though they`d wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there`s more enterprise
In walking naked.
From W B Yeats..................1914.....to all my friends on LIveIreland...Pierre
