"A daughter of a King of Ireland, heard……" — William Butler Yeats

A daughter of a King of Ireland, heard A voice singing on… - William Butler Yeats

"A daughter of a King of Ireland, heard A voice singing on a May Eve like this, And followed half awake and half asleep, Until she came into the Land of Faery, Where nobody gets old and godly and grave, Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue. And she is still there, busied with a dance Deep in the dewy shadow of a wood, Or where stars walk upon a mountain-top."

— William Butler Yeats
