Versos English J. M. Synge To The Oaks Of Glencree

English poem

To The Oaks Of Glencree

by

Listen in the reader

My arms are round you, and I lean Against you, while the lark Sings over us, and golden lights, and green Shadows are on your bark.

There’ll come a season when you’ll stretch Black boards to cover me: Then in Mount Jerome I will lie, poor wretch, With worms eternally.
