Among the bushy spaces
The grey rain drowns the wind,
Flowing from airy places,
Flowing from hills behind
Her threshold, hushed in grasses.

Spray-blind,
We leave here the intimacy of the race,
Unsure among the pitching surfaces
Whether the future lies before us or behind.

You & I in the wet May weather,
You and I and the Spring together.
And in the long suburban road
No other creature walked abroad.
Wildly sweet is this wet May weather.

Today’s #IrishPoetry tweet comes from Longford-born writer, Padraic Colum (1891-1972). The poem is called The Drover. https://t.co/EpU9wS0ab0

[Daniel Mulhall @DanMulhall]

And the crowds at the fair,
The herds loosened & blind,
Loud words and dark faces,
And the wild blood behind.

Today’s #IrishPoetry tweet is from Seamus Heaney’s poem ‘Postscript’, set on ‘the Flaggy Shore’ in County #Clare. https://t.co/dpiDKhWt6y

The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightening of a flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white

Today’s #IrishPoetry tweet is from #Yeats’s To Ireland in the Coming Times which will feature in my lecture tonight @EmoryArts. https://t.co/NvT7NjZWun

And Time bade all his candles flare
To light a measure here and there;
And may the thoughts of Ireland brood
Upon a measured quietude.

Near the fall
it’s more a booming,
loud enough
to drown out
all other sound
with the loudness
of silence
pouring over
into itself & on.

What I've really missed
are not papers or books,
but a settling in my soul.
I've missed you, your garden
& its sway of flowers

Love that is every miracle
Is torn apart & rent.
The human turns awry
The poles of the firmament.
..
& good again is spent.

..he prays
A prayer his body makes entirely
For he has forgotten self, forgotten bird
& on the riverbank forgotten the river's name.
