Edmund Falconer

Summary

Edmund Falconer,  Killarney

“ There would fain prolong life's span,
Beauty's home Killarney
Heav'n's reflex Killarney!
Music there for Echo dwells,
Makes each sound a Harmony,
Many voic'd the chorus swells,
Till it faints in ecstasy.
With the charmful tints below,
Seems the Heav'n above to vie
All rich colours that we know
Tinge the cloud wreaths in that sky.
Wings of Angels so might shine
Glancing back soft light divine,
Beauty's home, Killarney
Heav'n's reflex Killarney!
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
