Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.
By Douglas Hyde142. I Am Raferty
I
Full of hope and love,
With eyes that have no light,
With gentleness that has no misery.
By the light of my heart,
Feeble and tired
To the end of my road.
And my face to the wall,
A-playing music
Unto empty pockets.
