Three Island Songs 1

After the wind in the wood, Peace, and the night.

After the bond and the brood, Flight.

After the height and the hush Where the wild hawk swings, Heart of the earth-loving thrush Shaken with wings.

After the bloom and the leaf Rain on the nest.

After the splendour and grief, Rest.

After the hills and the far Glories and gleams, Cloud, and the dawn of a star, And dreams.
