Michael Earls Young Poems
- 1. The Fountain Of Youth
(For Osceola and Pocahontas)
Was it a hundred years ago,
... - 2. Off To The War
(For Jack)
In a little ship and down the bay,
... - 3. The Towers Of Holy Cross
(For W. M. Letts)
The roads look up to Holy Cross,
... - 4. The Storyteller
Tim of the Tales they call me,
With a welcome heart and hand;
But little they hold my brother
For all his cattle and land.
... - 5. The Young Adventurers
We will go adventuring, will you come adventuring,
Hail, to all who sail with us the seven pleasant seas:
All the shores with lily bells, all the flutes of woodland dells
Are calling like a legend upon a fragrant breeze.
... - 6. Linden Lane
HOLY CROSS: MAY, 1917
(For Major Joseph W. O'Connor, '03)
... - 7. Attainment
Let me go back again. There is the road,
O memory! The humble garden lane
So young with me. Let me rebuild again
The start of faith and hope by that abode;
... - 8. The Tree In The Tenement Yard
(For T. A. Daly)
America, Ireland and Italy,
... - 9. The Time Of Truce
Two young lads from childhood up
Drank together friendship's cup:
Joe was glad with Bill at play,
Bill was home to Joe alway.
