Dread
J.M. Synge
1871 to 1909
Beside a chapel I'd a room looked down,
Where all the women from the farms and town,
On Holy-days and Sundays used to pass
To marriages, and christenings, and to Mass.
Then I sat lonely watching score and score,
Till I turned jealous of the Lord next door. . .
Now by this window, where there's none can see,
The Lord God's jealous of yourself and me.
J.M. Synge's Dread
I am busy working to bring J.M. Synge's "Dread" 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 "Dread" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
