I WILL FORGET, by ALICE FURLONG Poet's Biography First Line: I will forget / the moaning of the sea about aran Last Line: (I say, and in my saying, remember yet.) | |||
I will forget The moaning of the sea about Aran; Green beaches wet, And grey rocks barren-- The sea-moan, against rocks that hinder and let! (I said, and in my saying, remembered yet.) I am the cry of sea Moaning about the rocks of Aran. Ye are the rocks, cold rocks unmoved by me, O dark-eyed people of Aran. I will forget The dark-eyed people of the Isles of the Old Sea: Mairead-bheag, and Donal who talked with the Sidh The dark-eyed people have their own fret, Have their own glee. I will forget, (I say, and in my saying, remember yet.) | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROTESTATION by THOMAS CAREW DECORATION DAY PRAYER by ARTHUR ROSZELLE BEMIS JR.
