Background
A description of the experience
John Boyle O'Reilly – from Songs, Legends and Ballads
Clear and bright, from the snowy height
The joyous stream to the plain descended
Rich sands of gold were washed and rolled
To the turbid marsh where its pure life ended
From stainless snow to the moor below
The heart like the brook has a waning mission
The buried dream in life's sluggish stream
Is the golden sand of our young ambition.
