RORY DALL



Was it just last night or long ago

That Rory Dall was here?

Does anyone remember

The evening or the year?



he came in from the darkness

With the shadows in his eyes

And the night was full of yearning

to take,R is the Rigging that

And the wind was full of sighs.



We asked him where he came from

And how far he had to go.

He answered without speaking

That we surely had to know.



He placed his harp before him

In his laughter and his pain

And strings were weeping for the world

Before he left again.



Does anyone remember

The evening or the year?

Was it just last night or long ago

That Rory Dall was here?
