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
