Thoughts as they came . ckward roll; We gaze half-perplexed, while the heart throbs with says—in heart language—were nearing the goal. [87] j THOUGHTS AS THEY CAME Anon, come the White Wings, with swift, graceful circling,With swoopings and chatterings, we interpret to be—r If land you are seeking, weve come with a greeting;Were feathered aeroplanes—Lords of the Sea. Were far-flyers, too, taking rest on the billow; Pray toss out a morsel of food as our pay!We know where, together, grow furze and the heather; With flap of our wings well take lead in the way. More comrades come speed


Thoughts as they came . ckward roll; We gaze half-perplexed, while the heart throbs with says—in heart language—were nearing the goal. [87] j THOUGHTS AS THEY CAME Anon, come the White Wings, with swift, graceful circling,With swoopings and chatterings, we interpret to be—r If land you are seeking, weve come with a greeting;Were feathered aeroplanes—Lords of the Sea. Were far-flyers, too, taking rest on the billow; Pray toss out a morsel of food as our pay!We know where, together, grow furze and the heather; With flap of our wings well take lead in the way. More comrades come speeding, the distance thus with battalions of White Wings we sail; While coastline is lengthening, we know beyond doubting,Twas land that we sighted—and Erin we hail. THE LITTLE GREEN ISLE Once more we behold thee! Thy hills like an emerald! Sure, all that have known thee, thy beauties will tell!Thy golden-hued furze, and the wild spraying shamrock; The heather, and murmur of stream in the dell. [88].
