He stumbled home from Clifden fair

He stumbled home from Clifden fair

With drunken song, and cheeks aglow.

Yet there was something in his air

That told of kingship long ago.

I sighed -- and inly cried

With grief that one so high should fall so low.

But he snatched a flower and sniffed its scent,

And waved it toward the sunset sky.

Some old sweet rapture through him went

And kindled in his bloodshot eye.

I turned -- and inly burned

With joy that one so low should rise so high.
