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 AN ORDER FOR A PICTURE by ALICE CARY A VALEDICTION: FORBIDDING MOURNING by JOHN DONNE A SHORT SONG OF CONGRATULATION by SAMUEL JOHNSON (1709-1784) WEARINESS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW TO MY ANTENOR, MARCH 16, 1661/2 by KATHERINE PHILIPS THE PROUD MISS MACBRIDE; A LEGEND OF GOTHAM by JOHN GODFREY SAXE |
