Patrick Kavanagh - Inniskeen Road: July EveningPatrick Kavanagh - Inniskeen Road: July Evening
Work rating: Medium


The bicycles go by in twos and threes - There`s a dance in Billy Brennan`s barn to-night, And there`s the half-talk code of mysteries And the wink-and-elbow language of delight. Half-past eight and there is not a spot Upon a mile of road, no shadow thrown That might turn out a man or woman, not A footfall tapping secrecies of stone. I have what every poet hates in spite Of all the solemn talk of contemplation. Oh, Alexander Selkirk knew the plight Of being king and government and nation. A road, a mile of kingdom, I am king Of banks and stones and every blooming thing.
