      “Four Ducks on a Pond” by William Allingham, Ireland (1824-1889)

      August 24, 2026

      Four ducks on a pond,

      A grass-bank beyond,

      A blue sky of spring,

      White clouds on the wing;

      What a little thing

      To remember for years-

      To remember with tears!

      From A Poem A Day: United Kingdom, Ireland & Continental Islands
