| 152. In Connemara |
| |
| |
| WITH eyes all untroubled she laughs as she passes, | |
| Bending beneath the creel with the seaweed brown, | |
| Till evening with pearl dew dims the shining grasses | |
| And night lit with dreamlight enfolds the sleepy town. | |
| |
| Then she will wander, her heart all a laughter, | 5 |
| Tracking the dream star that lights the purple gloom. | |
| She follows the proud and golden races after, | |
| As high as theirs her spirit, as high will be her doom. | |
