William Butler Yeats - A Faery SongWilliam Butler Yeats - A Faery Song
Work rating: Medium


Sung by the people of Faery over Diarmuid and Grania, in their bridal sleep under a Cromlech. WE who are old, old and gay, O so old! Thousands of years, thousands of years, If all were told: Give to these children, new from the world, Silence and love; And the long dew-dropping hours of the night, And the stars above: Give to these children, new from the world, Rest far from men. Is anything better, anything better? Tell us it then: Us who are old, old and gay, O so old! Thousands of years, thousands of years, If all were told.
