    About this ebook

    Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this series we look at each calendar month through the eyes and minds of our most gifted poets to bring you a unique poetic guide. July - the seventh month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and Summer is a rich harvest of colours and sights. Poets of the calibre of Thomas Hardy, HP Lovecraft and Wilfred Owen describe and marshall their thoughts for our delight. Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry. Many samples are at our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores. Among our readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe

      Landing on shores

      Of this foreign land

      Given blue suits

      And rifles in hand

      Sons of Erin

      Need not apply

      But still we march

      Green with pride

      A field of wheat

      A land for dreams

      Leaning forward

      An Irishman bleeds

      The sword in the sun

      High in the air

      The order of charge!

      The boys move without care

      Rage in our hearts

      And fire in the eyes

      The first ones fall

      An Irishman dies

      As Lazarus rising

      We climb from the rubble

      Shamrocks adorned

      We charge on the double

      Our bayonets ring

      With a mighty song

      Our faith in Christ

      Firm all along

      The keepers of men

      Pushed back by our brave

      Freedom for some

      For us the grave

      Twenty five hundred in number

      When the sergeant came

      The brothers of Erin

      Three hundred remain

      That field of dreams

      Taken by blade

      By us brave Irish lads

      Of the Irish Brigade

       America, From The National Ode July 4th 1876 by James Bayard Taylor

      Foresen in the vision of sages,

      Foretold when martyrs bled,

      She was born of the longing of ages,

      By the truth of the noble dead

      And the faith of the living fed!

      No blood in her lightest
