A LINE’S A SPEECH

Table of Contents

A line’s a speech;

So here’s a line

To say this pedlar’s pack

Of mine

Is not a book—

But a journey thro’

Mountainy places,

Ever in view

Of the sea and the fields,

With the rough wind

Blowing over the leagues

Behind!

I AM THE MOUNTAINY SINGER

Table of Contents

I am the mountainy singer—

The voice of the peasant’s dream,

The cry of the wind on the wooded hill,

The leap of the fish in the stream.

Quiet and love I sing—

The carn on the mountain crest,

The cailin in her lover’s arms,

The child at its mother’s breast.

Beauty and peace I sing—

The fire on the open hearth,

The cailleach spinning at her wheel,

The plough in the broken earth.
