SUNSET IN THE DEVIL'S GLEN: COUNTY WICKLOW, by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG Poet's Biography First Line: Warm the summer wind is blowing Last Line: Changes from rosy-red to grey. | |||
WARM the summer wind is blowing; From the west the sun is glowing Over lake and heath and fen; Merrily the stream is flowing; On the hills the kine are lowing; Dark and long the shadow's growing, Purpling o'er the Devil's Glen; Far away, in light and gloom, Glendalough's gaunt mountains loom. The trysting-hour has passed away; The sweet sad smile o' the dying day Changes from rosy-red to grey. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NEW BIRTH by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG A REMEMBERED FACE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG AMONG THE MOUNTAINS by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE SWALLOWS by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS THREE SONNETS WRITTEN IN MID-CHANNEL: 1 by ALFRED AUSTIN |
