Poet Tree #6

 Six poems by different poets (Henry Newbolt, Richard Murphy, Sir John Betjeman, Hilary Llewellyn-Williams, Aonghus MacNeacail, and myself) just for the love of sharing poetry. Please let me know about poets/poems which you really like. I think it would be good to share the works we like to introduce them to a wider audience.

The poems (in order) are:

Henry Newbolt - "The Final Mystery"

Richard Murphy - "Casement's Funeral"

Sir John Betjeman - "Diary of a Church Mouse"

Hilary Llewellyn-Williams - "The Bee-flight"

Aonghus MacNeacail - "You Gave Me Summer"

Robin Herne - "The Threefold Father"
