Life’s tempest is done

Here is today's entry, a poem by Hugh MacDiarmid , as taken from within the pictured 2003 compilation:


Skald's Death

I have known all the storms that roll.
I have been a singer after the fashion
of my people – a poet of passion.
All that is past.
Quiet has come into my soul.
Life’s tempest is done.
I lie at last
A bird cliff under the midnight sun.
