The Danaan Children Laugh




The Danaan Children Laugh, In Cradles Of Wrought Gold,


And Clap Their Hands Together, And Half Close Their Eyes



For They Will Ride The North When The Gereagle Flies


With Heavy Whitening Wings, And A Heart Fallen Cold:



I Kiss My Wailikg Child And Press It To My Breast


And Hear The Narrow Graves Calling My Child And Me



Desolate Winds That Cry Over The Wandering Sea


Desolate Winds That Hover In Hte Flaming West



Desolate Winds That Beat The Doors Of Heaven And Beat


The Doors Of Hell And Blow There Many A Whimpering Ghost



O Heart The Winds Have Shaken; The Unappeasable Host


Is Comelier Than Candles At Mother Mary’s Feet
