Padraic Colum (1881–1972). Anthology of Irish Verse. 1922.

By Ella Young

165. Greeting

OVER the wave-patterned sea-floor,

Over the long sunburnt ridge of the world,

I bid the winds seek you.

I bid them cry to you

Night and morning

A name you loved once;

I bid them bring to you

Dreams, and strange imaginings, and sleep.
