I KNOW that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds - TopicsExpress



          

I KNOW that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate My country is Kiltartan Cross, 5 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 man, nor cheering crowds, 10 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 15 In balance with this life, this death.
