Poem by Seán Turner SJ

Two copies of a poem by Mr Seán Turner SJ entitled 'To Fr Hayes and Fr McGrath' and 'To one Taking his last Vows in Religion on the Feast of Our Lady's Purification' Too oft the spirits are the fonder, Most like a flight of steel-winged swallows glancing Like light, chasing the motes o' the air, advancing, Pausing, swooping, here, there, hither, yonder.
