Until two lovers came out of the air

Until the pillared dark began to stir

They had vanished,

A wall behind his back, over his head

Flickering with ash and hazel, but half showed

Till it died out where an old thorn-tree stood.

Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.

About whose face birds wagged their fiery wings,

Face downward, tossing in a troubled sleep;

Whatever womans lover had hit her fancy,

It was before the time of the great war

Cried from the porters lodge, and with long clamour

He had fallen asleep, and, though he had dreamed

Or fell into unhappiness, Ive said,

Have I not bid you tell of that great queen

Half crazy with the thought, She too has wept!

Then Maeve: "O Aengus, Master of all lovers,

Said, "Aengus and his sweetheart give their thanks

And with a groan, as if the mortal breath

And set them digging under Buals hill.

Casts up a Show and the winds answer it

In owing them the bride-bed that gives peace.

And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,

Who stood amid a silence by the thorn

Gathered a crowd in some Byzantine lane,

We shadows, while they uproot his earｒｅad.9９cｓｗ•coｍthy housc,

To some stringed instrument none there had seen,

And when Id write it out anew, the words,

And not with his own voice or a mans voice,

And shed had lucky eyes and high heart,

Till Maeve called out, "These are but common men.

Mirrored in streams that neither hail nor rain

He could remember when he had had fine dreams.

Their haughty images that cannot wither,

Outrun the measure.

Between the walls covered with beaten bronze,

A murmur of soft words and meeting lips.

In her high house at Cruachan; the long hearth,

That no god troubled now, and, wondering

Nor the cold North has troubled?

But Maeve, and not with a slow feeble foot,

Who of the wandering many-changing ones

Lifted the curtain of her sleeping-room,

Broke from his parted lips and broke again,

To many thousand eyes, and to her own

Had filled the house with Druid heaviness;

She could have called over the rim of the world

Came to the threshold of the painted house

For you, although youve not her wandering heart,

As if there were no tale but your own tale

The children of the Maines out of sleep,

But our of the dark air over her head there came

And when Ive heard how they grew old and died,

Of the far-wandering shadows has come to me,

A latticed window. His glance went up at time

O when will you grow weary?

She told them of the many-changing ones;

More still than they had been for a good month,

What matters were afoot among the Sidhe,

For all their beautys like a hollow dream,

A certain poet in outlandish clothes

Will overthrow his shadows and carry off

And thought of days when hed had a straight body,

Friend of these many years, you too had stood

Maeve walked through that great hall, and with a sigh

With long white bodies came out of the air

A king of the Great Plain would speak with you.

Suddenly Ailell spoke out of his sleep,

"She will grow old and die, and she has wept!

And yet had been great-bodied and great-limbed,

The Maines children have not dropped their spades

That work too difficult for mortal hands

Because Earth, crazy for its broken power,

For I am Aengus, and I am crossed in love.

Who had been the lover of her middle life.

In comfortable sleep; all living slept

Maeve walked, yet with slow footfall, being old,

And when the uproar ran along the grass

To middle night, they dug into the hill.

With the first kings of many-pillared Cruachan.

He replied,

She followed with light footfall in the midst,

With speedy feet and a most thankful heart:

As in the old days when they would come and go

She had been beautiful in that old way

As though one listened there, and his voice sank

Was that, the air being heavy and the dogs

Where the tired horse-boys lay upon the rushes,

But with the burning, live, unshaken voice

For there is no high story about queens

The parted lips replied, "I seek your help,

O unquiet heart,

Queen of high Cruachan.

With quaking joints and terror-shｔｔps://rｅａd.９9csw.ｃomtricken faces,

Sudden and laughing.

Though now in her old age, in her young age

Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,

Of those that, it may be, can never age.

Over the White-Horned Bull and the Brown Bull.

Thats all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,

And shook him wide awake, and bid him say

And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all

With shouting and the clang of unhooked arms.

Or on the benches underneath the walls,

That happier breath had moved, her husband turned

Worth knitting to a measure of sweet sound?

And wondering who of the many-changing Sidhe

Had troubled his sleep. But all he had to say

One that the generations had long waited

Had paced from door to fire and fire to door.

But that great queen, who more than half the night

Id tell of that great queen

With holy shadows. Her high heart was glad,

Or let its meaning mix into the strings.

Shook the ale-horns and shields upon their hooks;

He said, "High Queen of Cruachan and Magh Ai,

Help them that wander with hand clasping hand,

Had come as in the old times to counsel her,

Who has been buried some two thousand years?

She laid a hand on either of his shoulders,

Fashioned to be the mother of strong children;

With still and stony limbs and open eyes.

When night was at its deepest, a wild goose

"I obey your will

Where her grandchildren slept, and cried aloud,

She saw her husband Ailell sleeping there,

Could but awaken sadly upon lips

Why do you praise another, praising her,

With bodies made out of soft fire. The one,

Remembering that she too had seemed divine

Maeve waited, and when that ear-piercing noise

But Soft beauty and indolent desire.
