A Terrible Beauty Is Born |
| Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart |
| O when may it suffice? |
| That is Heaven’s part, our part |
| To murmur name upon name |
| As a mother names her child |
| When sleep at last has come on limbs that had run wild |
| What is it but nightfall? |
| No, no, not night but death |
| Was it needless death after all? |
| For England may keep faith |
| For all that is done and said |
| We know their dream enough to know they dreamed and are dead |
| And what of excess of love |
| Bewildered them till they died? |
| I write it out in a verse |
| MacDonagh and MacBride and Connoly and Pearse |
| Now and in time to be, wherever green is worn, are changed, changed utterly |
| A terrible beauty is born |
| Oh… |
| Oh… |
| Now and in time to be, wherever green is worn, are changed, changed utterly |
| A terrible beauty is born |
