D. A. MAC ALEESE
(1833- )
A MEMORY
ADOWN the leafy lane we two, One brown October eve, together sped j The clustered nuts were hanging overhead, And ever and anon, the deep woods through, The gray owl piped his weird " Tu whut! tu whoo ! M
Adown the leafy lane we two
Strolled on and on, till sank the setting sun In sapphire beauty round Tyleden dun,
And shadows long and longer round us grew;
Had earth a pair so happy as we two ?
Adown the leafy lane we two
Loitered and laughed, and laughed and loitered more, And talked of " gentle folk " and fairy lore. Till, one by one, from out the vaulted blue, The diamond stars came softly forth to view.
Adown the leafy lane we two
Saw figures flitting 'mong the quicken trees, Tall Finian forms, holding high revelries, And dogs, like Bran in sinew and in thew, Chased shadowy deer the vista'd woodlands through. |
