Today’s Ulster Poet, the wonderful Patrick Kavanagh – a short poem.

WORSHIP

To your high altar I once came

Proudly, even brazenly, and I said:-

Open your tabernacles I too am flame

Ablaze on the hills of Being. Let the dead

Chant the low prayer beneath a candled shrine,

O cut for me life’s bread, for me pour wine!
