Though high in military fame Laurelled and proud was Desmond's nanae —r- Though loved and honored with a truth Proverbial of his nation's heart, And in the tropic time of youth, When meteors of ambition dart Across the soul bewildering With visions beautiful as bright, Leaving no pause for reason's wing.
But luring it from height to height.
With rich intensity of light, And flashing from its magic source On him their full concentred force •— Wealth, fame, ambition, beauty, power, And learning's... more immortal dower, Which makes men mightier in their lot Than monarchs o'er a million slaves.
Which graveth laws that perish not, But long outlive the sculptured graves Of generations — yet did he.
Living henceforth for worlds to be.
CLONTARF. 115 The passion and the power resign In this mere world to soar and shine.
The high ambition of his prayer, His country, was secure once more, No sceptre waved its mandate there Save that her kings for centuries bore.
But the pure dreams of love, that filled The future with their splendid light, Returned no more for him, to gild On hour of time's too tardy flight.
