In a building not concrete of origin Near a forest we used to forage in In the village we muck and wander Towards the river over yonder On the isle of sacred Avalon There was new ground to tread upon Amidst the brier, bog and heath Among the thistle, needles and oak leaf Round the timber fire we sang Of lady luck’s mercy and lady love’s pain We drank a drink of potent potables Phrases spoken few of which notable From the lambs leg we feasted While the mystic death we cheated Nights never ending and those yet experienced We roam them on and on, ever-delirious

For David the Gnome and Seamus Heaney (Living In the Dark of Night)
In a building not concrete of origin Near a forest we used to forage in In the village we muck and wander Towards the river over yonder On the isle of sacred Avalon There was new ground to tread upon Amidst the brier, bog and heath Among the thistle, needles and oak leaf Round the timber fire we sang Of lady luck’s mercy and lady love’s pain We drank a drink of potent potables Phrases spoken few of which notable From the lambs leg we feasted While the mystic death we cheated Nights never ending and those yet experienced We roam them on and on, ever-delirious
