Padraic Pearse Death Poems
- 1. To Death
I have not gathered gold;
The fame that I won perished;
In love I found but sorrow,
That withered my life.
... - 2. The Woman Of The Mountain Keens Her Son
Grief on the death, it has blackened my heart:
It has snatched my low and left me desolate,
Without friend or companion under the roof of my house
But this sorrow in the midst of me, and I keening.
... - 3. Ideal
Naked I saw thee,
O beauty of beauty!
And I blinded my eyes
For fear I should flinch.
