Maire Monologue from The Land of Heart's Desire

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

female · dark · 46 sec

Shemus! Shemus! What, would you burn the blessed quicken wood? A spell to ward off demons and ill faeries. You know not what the owls were that peeped in, For evil wonders live in this old wood, And they can show in what shape please them best. And we have had no milk to leave of nights To keep our own good people kind to us. And Aleel, who has talked with the great Sidhe, Is full of terrors to come. [She lays the bough on a chair.
