A Wish
J.M. Synge
1871 to 1909
May seven tears in every week
Touch the hollow of your cheek,
That I—signed with such a dew—
For a lion's share may sue
Of the roses ever curled
Round the May-pole of the world.
Heavy riddles lie in this,
Sorrow's sauce for every kiss.
J.M. Synge's A Wish
I am busy working to bring J.M. Synge's "A Wish" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about J.M. Synge's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "A Wish" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
