Excerpt from Innocencies: A Book of VerseWithout you, dear, I am not comfortable, I am alone, whether I wake or sleep, The soul in me chilly, afraid, unstable, Without your comfortable companionship. Heart cries to heart, beloved, deep calls to deep, To say these things aright I am not able. I wake afar from you and wake to weep, Being without you lost, uncomfortable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare an...

Excerpt from The Holy War These to the mourners of the War, Saints of the great days, still and calm, Who carry affliction like a star, Who for your wounds have found a balm. Who all so sweetly comfort lake, Who have no plaint for wound or stripe, Who in the arid day will slake Your thirst at a small conduit pipe. Who praise your God although He slay, Who are uplifted from the deep. We know you in a murky day By the sad glorious air yo...

Excerpt from The Wild Harp: A Selection From Irish PoetryAnd now, having claimed for the Wild Harp that it is brief and direct, I ask pardon for an introduction over-long and possibly tedious, which my readers may, if they will, sweep into the region of unconsidered things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years Reminiscences You were a part of the green country, Of the grey hills and the quiet places. They are not the same, the fields and the mountains, Without the lost and beloved faces, And you were a part of the sweet country. There's a road that winds by the foot of the mountains Where I run in my dreams and you come to meet me, With your blue eyes and your cheeks' old roses, The old fond smile that was quick...

Excerpt from Love of Brothers It was a night of bright moonlight that made for pitchy shadows under wall or tree. Patsy Kenny was looking for the goat, she having broken her tether. He had been driven forth by his fierce old grandfather with threats of the most awful nature if he should return without the goat. The tears were not yet dry on Patsy's small face. He had kneaded them in with his knuckles, but the smears caused by the process we...

Excerpt from Ireland There is what the Englishman calls an Irish bull in this speech, but the Irish bull usually means that something is left to the imagination. I will leave you to discover for yourself the hiatus which would have made the steward's remark a sober English statement. These things make an Irish heart bound up as exultantly as the lark springs to the sky of a day of April - that is to say, of an Irish exile home-return ing - f...

Excerpt from Dick Pentreath There was no one so well liked in the county by rich and poor as Dick Pentreath. It is a very proud and very exclusive county, and Dick was a simple gentleman, with an income which almost any one of his friends might have given away without missing it. The wealth of the county is only less amazing than its rank. It has no middle class at all. There seems to be a sheer descent from the Duke of Lydford to the agricu...

Excerpt from A Daughter of the Fields The big kitchen glowed warm as copper. There was a fire of coke in the open grate, with a log to the back of it. The walls were amber brown from the smoke of the half-dried wood, the floor had been newly reddened with ochre, and the tables, scrubbed with freestone, showed here and there a high light from a speck of talc. The tins were freshly polished, the dresser with all its gay crockery had had its fac...

Excerpt from A Girl of Galway It was four o'clock in the morning, an exquisite June morning. Only a little while ago the nightingale had dropped asleep, and already the blackbird was beginning. Inland it would be a drowsy day of cuckoos. Here by the sea there was the quiet wash of the waves on the shore and the monotonous cooing of a pair of stock-doves in a cage outside the window, scarcely less dreamy. Early as it was, two people were alre...

Excerpt from The Wandering Years Pat had spent all that Summer of 1918 in a persistent effort to get to his own Ist Battalion of the Dublins and the front line. I think he was kept back because of his Very youthful appearance. Hearing the tale of these struggles read aloud at the breakfast-table at Brookhill, Lord Linlithgow said: That fellow will get himself court-martialled if he doesn't look out.
