The Land Of My Youth Poem by Liam ó Comáin

The Land Of My Youth

Rating: 5.0


I will arise and go
to a wood alongside
the Roe
where I will raise a
house of Irish oak
and Sperrin stone

Rural peace
and solitude
I will share
with mallard and heron

Drinking spring water
from a holy well
where I was a Mohican
in those early days

Reading and writing verse
digging and planting
rising with the dawn and
bedding with the sun

Perhaps there I canbe one
