Aleel Monologue from The Land of Heart's Desire

From The Land of Heart's Desire by W.B. Yeats

He may be Aengus, But it may be he bears an angelical name. Lady, he bid me call you from these woods; He bids you bring Oona, your foster-mother, And some few serving-men and live in the hills Among the sounds of music and the light Of waters till the evil days are gone. For here some terrible death is waiting you; Some unimaginable evil, some great darkness That fable has not dreamt of, nor sun nor moon Scattered.
