To the Oaks of Glencree / J. M. Synge

My arms are round you, and I lean 
Against you, while the lark 
Sings over us, and golden lights, and green 
Shadows are on your bark. 

There'll come a season when you'll stretch
Black boards to cover me; 
Then in Mount Jerome I will lie, poor wretch, 
With worms eternally.
