Wandered from the Antrim hills.
Wandered from Kallala's rills,
Folk Of Fochlad called to him
From their forest deep and dim;
And in vision little hands
Beckoned from the Irish lands,
Where the western pillows spoke
With the Druid groves Of oak.
Evermore their cry did seem
Calling, calling, through his dream,
Hasten with the flower Of truth;
Walk among us, holy youth t.
When he spread his dauntless sail
To the gladneSs of the gale,
Glowcring demons, mile on mile,
Stood in circle around the Isle,
Laughing out their cracking rage,
NJ the young. unfearing sage.
There with lifted cross he came
breathing low the Sacred Name
And the demons, form by form,
Fled in fury down the storm.
over the Isle his spirit went
Like fire across the armament
Kings al Tara caught the word,
Churl and kern and chieftain heard.
Low the Druid's mystic rod
Fell down withered before Godl
With the frost he kindled FIRE;
Drove the snakes from brake and briar,
Hurting out the writhing brood

With the lightning OF his rood.
Once he stopped, and with his hand
Traced cross upon the sand:
Then a wonder--from the ground
Sprang stream with silver sound
And blind man kneeling there
Layed his cyeids, whispering prayer.
Then across relighted eyes
Rushed the splendor of the skies
Poured the purple of the hills
Glanced the gold of daffodils--
Shined the roads that have no ends
Smiled the faces of old friends.
And when Patrick fell on sleep,
Twelve the days we're, still and deep
Twelve the days, with never a night,
Never cloud across the light.
Angels chanted out the hours
Leaning from their sky-hung towers
Like a garden blown TO bloom
Was the sweetness round his tomb.
Fable legend, all are true;
More than these did Patrick dol
For he cleared the serpent den.
Hiding in the hearts of men;
letting Loves bright fountain spring
Into sweetest murmuring.
Yes. the wise heroic breed
Bring us miracle indeed.
On the dark he left Gods smile,
Lighting mp lerne's Isle;
And forever lives his name
As the rose upon her fame.
