Father whose halls make room for all the mighty hosts, in whose house we rest at the end of our life-journey, be welcome, welcome and thrice welcome! Donn, dark one, brown one, hue of the Earth! You who welcome us at the Western Isle of Teach Duinn as we make our passage from this life to the next. No people killed - or were killed - on this ground hallowed by neglect and an air so tame that people celebrate it by forgetting its name.Īlthough you hide in the ebb and flow Of the pale tide when the moon has set, The people of coming days will know About the casting out of my net, And how you have leaped times out of mind Over the little silver cords, And think that you were hard and unkind, And blame you with many bitter words.A Farewell (Lyrics: Alfred, Lord Tennyson)ĭonn, the dark one, the brown one, hue of the Earth! Donn, the dark one, first of the Sons of Mil! First ancestor, first one to tread and tend Death's halls, you who entered the Otherworld through the waters of the southwest so soon after sighting Eriu. Birds fly here without any sound, unfolding their wings across the open. This is the field where grass joined hands, where no monument stands, and the only heroic thing is the sky.

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea, A rivulet then a river No where by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.įlow down, cold rivulet, to the sea, Thy tribute wave deliver: No more by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. Lawdy-mercy! I's frustrated!ĩ Celery By Ogden Nash Celery, raw Develops the jaw, But celery, stewed, Is more quietly chewed.

How do Rhyme schemes continue? through to the end of a poem, no matter how many lines or stanzas it contains do not start over with a new rhyme scheme in each stanza. (The first line of a rhyming poem is always assigned the letter “a.”) If a sound repeats, it is assigned the same letter as the line in which the same sound appeared. What are letters used for? Each new sound in a poem is assigned a different letter.
