The Complete Poems of Francis Ledwidge/Songs of Peace/In the Mediterranean—Going to the War
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN—GOING TO THE WAR
Lovely wings of gold and green
Flit about the sounds I hear,
On my window when I lean
To the shadows cool and clear.

Roaming, I am listening still,
Bending, listening overlong,
In my soul a steadier will,
In my heart a newer song.
