Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.

By Douglas Hyde

142. I Am Raferty

I AM Raferty the Poet

Full of hope and love,

With eyes that have no light,

With gentleness that has no misery.

Going west upon my pilgrimage

By the light of my heart,

Feeble and tired

To the end of my road.

Behold me now,

And my face to the wall,

A-playing music

Unto empty pockets.
