A Rainy Day in April

... The skylark soars the freshening shower to hail, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Fairies

... Or, at the most, but children still, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Pan

... And leads them back by cliff and steep, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Ceol Sidhe

... And when the pastoral hills are grey ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In France

... And mingling waves of pastoral streams ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

The Rushes

... And I think they are wise as the fairies ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Fairy Hunt

... As Christmas bells across the snow ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

The Lost Ones

... And the brown breath of Autumn chills the flowers ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Autumn

... Like scattered fire the wild fruit strews ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Spring

... Cleaves through the dawn, his hurried bars^ ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

With Flowers

... These have more language than my song, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Una Bawn

... 'Tis you will find the days so long, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Thomas McDonagh

... Nor shall he know when loud March blows ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Two Songs

... And a voice in the distance calls ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

June

... ather in the snow,Even the roses spilt on youth's red mouthWill soon blow down the road all roses go ...
