William Butler Yeats.
Man of duty, for we to our country duty have
to render it brave and grave
and great.
You did your duty, you knew your duty, and you
did duty well.
Now the verse remains, open the book, read and
feel.
And that be you; to feel, to be, to be, to feel.
And in that phenomenon to all of us common,
there issue the wonders from your homely
verse, and great lines.
Your heart looks greater, your brain no less,
but more than these the throbbing of the pulse
Brave Ireland-Eire, brave Yeats, green land of
beauty in the small,
amidst the vast and greater in this Earth
Emmanuel George Cefai
