On A Poet Patriot
Thomas MacDonagh
His songs were a little phrase Of eternal song, Drowned in the harping of lays More loud and long. His deed was a single word, Called out alone In a night when no echo stirred To laughter or moan. But his songs new souls shall thrill, The loud harps dumb, And his deed the echoes fill When the dawn is come.
