A FAERY SONG1 From " Poems "
W
E who are old, old and gray, O so old ! Thousands of years, thousands of years, If all were told :
Give to these children, new from the world,
Silence and love; And the long dew-dropping hours of the night,
And the stars above:
Give to these children, new from the world,
Rest far from men. Is anything better, anything better ?
Tell us it then.
Us who are old, old and gray:
O so old ! Thousands of years, thousands of years,
If alt were told. |

DOWN BY THE SALLEY GARDENS
OWN by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. |

1 Sung by the people of faery over Diarmuid and Grania, who lay in their bridal sleep under a Cromlech. |
