And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

To the lonely sea and the sky.

I wonder if they’re dry?”

Well I didn't know it was #PoetryDayIreland but here's a wee one from John Hewitt (part of The Day of The Corncrake). Not really in the #MayDay theme but worth reading nonetheless. As found in the book by Cahal Dallat, featuring a bonus map by Johan Blaeu (1654)
