PRELUDE
by: John Millington Synge
(1871-1909)
- TILL south I went and west and
south again,
- Through Wicklow from the morning till the night,
- And far from cities, and the sights of men,
- Lived with the sunshine and the moon's delight.
-
- I knew the stars, the flowers, and the birds,
- The gray and wintry sides of many glens,
- And did but half remember human words,
- In converse with the mountains, moors, and fens.
