Song of the Wandering Aengus |
I went out to the hazel wood, |
Because a fire was in my head, |
And cut and peeled a hazel wand, |
And hooked a berry to a thread; |
And when white moths were on the wing, |
And moth-like stars were flickering out, |
I dropped the berry in a stream |
And caught a little silver trout. |
When I had laid it on the floor |
I went to blow the fire a-flame, |
But something rustled on the floor, |
And some one called me by my name: |
It had become a glimmering girl |
With apple blossom in her hair |
Who called me by my name and ran |
And faded through the brightening air. |
Though I am old with wandering |
Through hollow lands and hilly lands, |
I will find out where she has gone, |
And kiss her lips and take her hands; |
And walk among long dappled grass, |
And pluck till time and times are done |
The silver apples of the moon, |
The golden apples of the sun |
