To my Boathouse at Laugharne

Michael Magee

(The writing shed of Dylan Thomas) 
 
One last time from the shed
 
      I look down to see
 
          the estuary and St. John's Hlll
 
   knowing my tide's gone out at 39
 
 
I won't be coming home--
 
            but in my ears, a shell--
 
I'll carry this tune, the sound of
 
      my words like stones on a washboard.

The great lyric poet Dylan Thomas lived and worked in this beautiful spot in Laugharne, Wales, for the last years of his life.
