Richard Broderick celebrates This winter's first and only fall of snow With a midnight rendering Of the Bonny Bunch of Roses O And Paddy Dineen is rising With On Top of the Old Stone Wall. His closed eyes respect the song. His mind's a festival. And now Romona lights the lips Of swaying Davy Shea. In a world of possibilities This is the only way.

"Living Ghosts", by Brendan Kenneally

His face a summer morning When the sun decides to smile Tom Keane touches enchantment With Charming Carrig Isle. I've seen men in their innocence Untroubled by right and wrong. I close my eyes and see them Becoming song. All the songs are living ghosts and long for a living voice O may another fall of snow Bid Broderick rejoice!
