To One Dead



A blackbird singing

On a moss-covered stone

Bluebells swinging

Shadows wildly blown


A song in the wood

A ship on the sea

The song was for you

And the ship was for me


A blackbird singing

I hear in my troubled mind

Bluebells swinging

I see in a distant wind


But sorrow and silence

Are the wood's threnody

The silence for you

And the sorrow for me.



~Francis Ledwidge
