I heard a cry outside my window <br />Of a lovers anguished dispair <br />As with her beloved she quarelled <br />It was but a sound faint out there... <br /> <br />His voice could not be heard <br />As her sobs grew louder still <br />To his unheard - by - me - responses <br />Drew a retort twice as shrill <br /> <br />The voices in time disappeared <br />A on their way they went <br />And I, not caring much <br />Went to sleep again, content.<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-heard-a-cry-outside-my-window/
