As I Came Over Wicklow Gap Poem by Martin Swords
As I Came Over Wicklow Gap
As I came over Wicklow Gap
All on a summer’s day
A sight I met which held me trapped
And took my breath away
A view emerged as if to say
Stop and remember well today
Treasure the memory from this day
Before you’re on your way, now
Before you’re on your way
As I came over Wicklow Gap
All in a summer still
The sun shone on the mountain cap
A single shaft of golden spill
And lit ablaze the very hill
I can recall it still
If ever my spirit’s ill
It lifts my heart and always will, now
I know it always will

I do believe Fay is right. It does have the lilt of a song. It is one of God's blessings that we all have had these rare moments that something in God's creation comes in and takes residence in our soul for the rest of our lives.
