Maire Bruin Monologue from The Land of Heart's Desire

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

female · romantic · 42 sec

How a Princess Edain, A daughter of a King of Ireland, heard A voice singing on a May Eve like this, And followed, half awake and half asleep, Until she came into the land of faery, Where nobody gets old and godly and grave, Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue; And she is still there, busied with a dance, Deep in the dewy shadow of a wood, Or where stars walk upon a mountain-top.
