Irish Airman |
I know that I shall meet my fate |
Somewhere among the clouds above |
Those that I fight I do not hate |
Those that I guard not love |
My country is Kiltartan Cross |
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor |
No likely end could bring them loss |
Or leave them happier than before |
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight |
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds |
A lonely impulse of delight |
Drove to this tumult in the clouds |
I balanced all, brought all to mind |
The years to come seemed waste of breath |
A waste of breath the years behind |
In balance with this life, this death |
