In Memoriam: Francis Ledwidge
S
What may I fashion for thee?
What garland of words or of flowers?
Singer of sunlight and showers,
The wind on the lea;
Wee cabins, white on the plain,
And bright with the colours of even,
Beauty of earth and of heaven falls
Outspread beyond Slane!
Flamed on the night of the Gael,
Guard both the honor and story
Of him who has died for the glory
That crowns Innisfail.
I offer thee song and hot tears.
With Brian, and Red Hugh O’Donnell,
The chiefs of Tyrone and Tryconnell,
Live on through the years!
