Walter Osborne

A vendor of books, 1889
Bleá Cliath, a thaisce
roimh aimsir na réabhlóide
is cuma shéimh air
        ach tá rud éigin san aer
        is fós in éamh na bhfaoileán
Dublin, beloved
before the revolution
and all seems peaceful
        but there's something in the air
        still heard in the seagull's cry
