The Capitive Archer







To-morrow I will bend the Bow!

My Soul shall have her mark again ,

My Bosum feel the Archer's stain!


No longer pasing to and fro

With loosened arms and slacken brain,

As goes the arrow, forth I go!


And pride and purpose I shall know!

Red Moon hangs above the grain,

My Soul shall have her mark again

My Bosum feel the Archer's stain!

To-morrow I will bend the Bow!

by Padraic Colum.
