Poem by Patrick Kavanagh

A Star

Beauty was that
Far vanished flame,
Call it a star
Wanting better name.

And gaze and gaze
Vaguely until
Nothing is left
Save a grey ghost-hill.

Here wait I
On the world's rim
Stretching out hands
To Seraphim. 

1. Stony Grey Soil
2. Epic
3. Memory of My Father
4. Advent
5. Wet Evening in April
