    "The Ice-Cream Man" by Michael Longley. Rum and raisin, vanilla, butter-scotch, walnut, peach: you would rhyme off the flavours. I named for you all the wild flowers of the Burren I had seen in one day.

    The Ice-Cream Man

    BY MICHAEL LONGLEY

    Rum and raisin, vanilla, butter-scotch, walnut, peach: You would rhyme off the flavours. That was before They murdered the ice-cream man on the Lisburn Road And you bought carnations to lay outside his shop. I named for you all the wild flowers of the Burren I had seen in one day: thyme, valerian, loosestrife, Meadowsweet, tway blade, crowfoot, ling, angelica, Herb robert, marjoram, cow parsley, sundew, vetch, Mountain avens, wood sage, ragged robin, stitchwort, Yarrow, ladys bedstraw, bindweed, bog pimpernel.
