    “I wandered forth at night alone”

    (continued from previous page)
    I turned away as towards my grave.
    And, all my dark way homeward by the Atlantic's
    verge.
    Resounded in mine ears like to a dirge
    The roaring of the wave

    In Timoleague's old ancient pile
    By Courtmacsherry's placid bay.
    A monk sat in a belltower.
    While down sank the sun one Summer's day.
