GO AND GAZE AT THE COMING SPRING IF YOU CAN

Go to Sligo, if you can,
across the turbulent waters
to the green shore

beyond the widening ocean,
go and walk at Lissadell,
stand at the grave

and read the lines
and gaze at the rock that endures
beyond all the lines

ever written, past
the withering of the world,
the winter men have cast

through all the seasons
of the turning Earth,
to the coming spring

when through all the seasons
of the turning Earth
the buds of everlasting spring

endure, and silent bones
sleep in peace, and flowers
grow on fields of slaughter.
