Random Poem of the Day
1Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,
2 Say, could that lad be I?
3Merry of soul he sailed on a day
7Glory of youth glowed in his soul;
8 Where is that glory now?
9Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,
10 Say, could that lad be I?
11Merry of soul he sailed on a day
12 Over the sea to Skye.
13Give me again all that was there,
14 Give me the sun that shone!
15Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
16 Give me the lad that's gone!
17Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,
18 Say, could that lad be I?
19Merry of soul he sailed on a day
20 Over the sea to Skye.
21Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
22 Mountains of rain and sun,
23All that was good, all that was fair,
24 All that was me is gone.
