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 OUTIDANA: A DIRGE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 38 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING IN A LECTURE-ROOM by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH THE CHURCH OF A DREAM; TO BERNHARD BERENSON by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON THE SECRETARY; WRITTEN AT THE HAGUE, 1696 by MATTHEW PRIOR CIVIL WAR by CHARLES DAWSON SHANLY |
