The Thatched Cottage Poem by Liam ó Comáin

The Thatched Cottage



It could be anywhere
That peaceful place
Approached by a boreen.

Distemper white with
A thatched roof like
A statue looking down.

There the birth cry was
Heard and from there
Funerals took place.

Night and day it sits
Like a seagull keeping
A kindly eye.

Occasionally mail arrives
From different parts
Like swallows returning.

You'll always be welcome
There- just lift the latch
And go on in....
