Nature
A Wave of the Sea
From The Poems of Joseph Mary Plunkett, ed. Geraldine Plunkett (Dublin: Talbot Press, 1916)
Nature
I am a wave of the sea
And the foam of the wave
And the wind of the foam
And the wings of the wind.
My soul's in the salt of the sea
In the weight of the wave
In the bubbles of foam
In the ways of the wind.
My gift is the depth of the sea
The strength of the wave
The lightness of foam
The speed of the wind.
