Killdee

Killdee! Killdee! far o'er the lea
At twilight comes the cry.
Killdee! a marsh-mate answereth
Across the shallow sky.


Killdee! Killdee! thrills over me
A rhapsody of light,
As star to star gives utterance
Between the day and night.


Killdee! Killdee! O Memory,
The twin birds, Joy and Pain,
Like shadows parted by the sun,
At twilight meet again!
