William Butler Yeats - The Countess Cathleen In ParadiseWilliam Butler Yeats - The Countess Cathleen In Paradise
Work rating: Medium


ALL the heavy days are over; Leave the body`s coloured pride Underneath the grass and clover, With the feet laid side by side. Bathed in flaming founts of duty She`ll not ask a haughty dress; Carry all that mournful beauty To the scented oaken press. Did the kiss of Mother Mary Put that music in her face? Yet she goes with footstep wary, Full of earth`s old timid grace. `Mong the feet of angels seven What a dancer glimmering! All the heavens bow down to Heaven, Flame to flame and wing to wing.
