IRISH GIRL
Is that you beloved? It's been days. I dreamed of you again. You haunt my dreams. Your beauty is terrible, inescapable. I am so afraid of you. But then I see you again and the fear goes. (pause) I was hoping I would see you tonight. Da swears he'll kill you if he catches you. But I'm not afraid of him. Not when I look at you. (pause) What of your promise? Beloved, is it time? Each day that passes is a greater agony. I want to go to your home, to the country where the soil is rich and the water sweet. Where flowers grow and the air is filled with song. To be there with you is all I long for. Is it time, beloved?
