No bird is singing now, and if there is,

The mystery of a smile that glows within your eyes
and is framed in an innocent countenance
passes not unheeded.
Those transient's hallway smiles and greetings offered through your door

No way of going back

© Ivan Donn Carswell

seen between branches. In your eyes the laughter
and strangeness of a sky that is not yours.

Moonlight whitens the lilac shadowed wall
And through the evening fall,
Clearly, as if through enchanted seas,

Sons of the mountains of Scotland,
Welshmen of coomb and defile,
Breed of the moors of England,
Children of Erin's green isle,
