Love and memory clothe all my soul...

Eva Gore Booth

Writer, political activist & sister of Countess Markievicz

As the convolvulus with fairy fingers hangs on graceful Pall

Round the grey blackness of that sullen wall

Made gay and fragrant thus

So Love and Memory

clothe all my soul in purple green entwined

Till the dull surface of my barren mind

grows bright with thoughts of thee.
