As I came over Wicklow Gap <br />All on a summer’s day <br />A sight I met which held me trapped <br />And took my breath away <br />A view emerged as if to say <br />Stop and remember well today <br />Treasure the memory from this day <br />Before you’re on your way, now <br />Before you’re on your way <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />As I came over Wicklow Gap <br />All in a summer still <br />The sun shone on the mountain cap <br />A single shaft of golden spill <br />And lit ablaze the very hill <br />I can recall it still <br />If ever my spirit’s ill <br />It lifts my heart and always will, now <br />I know it always will <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Martin Swords <br />May 2009<br /><br />Martin Swords<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-i-came-over-wicklow-gap/
