First Merchant Monologue from The Land of Heart's Desire

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

We need but hover over her head in the air, For she has only minutes: when she came I saw the dimness of the tomb in her, And marked her walking as with leaden shoes And looking on the ground as though the worms Were calling her, and when she wrote her name Her heart began to break. Hush! hush! I hear The brazen door of Hell move on its hinges, And the eternal revelry float hither To hearten us.
