A Cradle Song.
I kiss my wailing child and press it to my breast,
The Danann children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
A Cradle Song
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold:
I kiss my wailing child and press it to my breast,
And hear the narrow graves calling my child and me.
Desolate winds that cry over the wandering sea;
Desolate winds that hover in the flaming West;
Desolate winds that beat the doors of Heaven, and beat
The doors of Hell and blow there many a whimpering ghost;
O heart the winds have shaken; the unappeasable host
Is comelier than candles before Mauryas feet.
