<h3> <SPAN name="song"></SPAN> A Song at Shannon's<br/> </h3>
<p>Two men came out of Shannon's having known<br/>
The faces of each other for as long<br/>
As they had listened there to an old song,<br/>
Sung thinly in a wastrel monotone<br/>
By some unhappy night-bird, who had flown<br/>
Too many times and with a wing too strong<br/>
To save himself, and so done heavy wrong<br/>
To more frail elements than his alone.<br/></p>
<p>Slowly away they went, leaving behind<br/>
More light than was before them. Neither met<br/>
The other's eyes again or said a word.<br/>
Each to his loneliness or to his kind,<br/>
Went his own way, and with his own regret,<br/>
Not knowing what the other may have heard.<br/></p>
