from The Wanderings of Oisin
And on the shores were many boats
With bending sterns and bending bows,
And carven figures on their prows
Of bitterns, and fish-eating stoats,
And swans with their exultant throats:
With bending sterns and bending bows,
And carven figures on their prows
Of bitterns, and fish-eating stoats,
And swans with their exultant throats:
And where the wood and waters meet
We tied the horse in a leafy clump,
We tied the horse in a leafy clump,
And Niamh blew three merry notes
Out of a little silver trump . . .
Out of a little silver trump . . .
– W.B. Yeats (1889)
