Clouds beyond clouds over myself, Wastes beyond consumes lower than; But nothing drear can be disperse me; I won’t, usually do not go.
Throughout the low white structure plus the churchs steeple, From your absolutely nothing fields below grass otherwise cereals, I am vanished toward fairy somebody I am going to perhaps not become on area once more.
You could find a woman with my deal with and locks, You’ll be able to pick one to reach my personal mothers door Which may talk my personal terminology that can don my outfits. She’ll not be I, for I come no longer.
I am gone, moved far, to the fairies wandering, You can also query from me where in fact the herons are located in brand new open marsh if the snipe try homing, Or whenever zero moonlight bulbs neither an individual star. With the stormy evening in the event the channels is actually foaming And you can a hint may come out of my haunts afar, Towards the reeds my personal floors and my personal rooftop the latest gloaming, However, I come don’t so you’re able to Ballynar.
Ask Dad Ryan to learn no passages To-name me personally right back, having I’m this very day Out of blessings far, and you will past curses. Zero eden stands out where we drive out.
During the price unthought away from in every your own stables, To the gods of old while the sons off Finn, On queens you to definitely reigned regarding the olden myths And you may kings one to acquired exactly what a blade is win.
