A Woman Without a Country: Poems

by Eavan Boland

Book Overview

From "Talking to my Daughter Late at Night"

We have a tray, a pot of tea, a scone.
This is the hour
When one thing pours itself into another:
The gable of our house stored in shadow.
A spring planet bending ice
Into an absolute of light.
Your childhood ended years ago. There is
No path back to it.
