Description
An Old Woman of the Roads
by Padraic Colum (1881-1972)
O, to have a little house!
To own the hearth and stool and all!
The heaped up sods upon the fire,
The pile of turf against the wall!
To have a clock with weights and chains
And pendulum swinging up and down!
A dresser filled with shining delph,
Speckled and white and blue and brown!
I could be busy all the day
Clearing and sweeping the hearth and floor,
And fixing on their shelf again
My white and blue and speckled store!
I could be quiet there at night
Beside the fire and by myself,
Sure of a bed and loath to leave
The ticking clock and the shining delph!
Och! but I�m weary of mist and dark
And roads where there�s never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush
For a little house, a house of my own,
Out of the wind�s and the rain�s way
