“All roads are completed …” by Patrick Kavanagh 🇮🇪 (21 Oct 1904 – 30 Nov 1967)
“All roads are completed,” she said.
“A tired time beauty is perfect through all windows,
Her autograph is legible on every hill-head.”
​
“No need now
Dark labourings in pain
The sculptured moods of thought
Are cleansed by simple rain.”
​
“Grieve never
Though the laugh of hurrying love
Passes too high—
There are star-subtle fingers the cloud-senses above.”
​
“To morrow
A different exult will hold
And today and all days gone
Will be a steady distanced charm
A moment old.”
