Holmes, Edmond G. A.: From Shannon to Sea - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 From Shannon to Sea The Shannon bore me to thy bosom wide: I wandered with it on its winding way By fields of yellow corn and new mown hay, And far blue hills that rose on either side, And low dark woods that fringed the ebbing tide; And ever as its waters neared the west, Out of the slumber of its broadening breast Faint momentary ripples rose and died And rose again before the breeze and grew To wavelets dancing in the noonday light, And these were changed to waves of ocean blue, And creek and headland faded from the sight, And oh! at last--at last I floated free On the long rollers of the open sea. |
