Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.

By Emily Lawless

88. In Spain

YOUR sky is a hard and a dazzling blue,

Your earth and sands are a dazzling gold,

And gold or blue is the proper hue,

You say for a swordsman bold.

In the land I have left the skies are cold,

The earth is green, the rocks are bare,

yet the devil may hold all your blue and your gold

Were I only once back there!
