Excerpt from The Perilous Light The Perilous Light The Eternal Beauty smiled at me From the long lily's curved form, She laughed in a wave of the sea, She flashed on white wings through the storm. In the bulb of a daffodil She made a little joyful stir, And the white cabin on the hill Was my heart's home because of her. Her laughter fled the eyes of pride, Barefoot she went o'er stony land, And ragged children hungry-eyed Clung to her skirts and held her hand. When storm winds shook the cabin door, And red the Atlantic sunset blazed, The fisher folk of Mullaghmore Into her eyes indifferent gazed. By lonely waves she dwells apart And sea-gulls circling on white wings Crowd round the windows of her heart Most dear to her of starving things.
