from The Island of Statues
A wriggling thing on the white lake moved,
As the canker-worm on a milk-white rose;
And down I came as a falcon swoops
And down I came as a falcon swoops
When his sinewy wings together close.
I 'lit by the thing, 'twas a shepherd-boy,
Who, swimming, sought the island lone;
Within his clenchèd teeth a sword.
I heard the dreadful monotone
The water-serpent sings his heart
Before a death. O'er wave and bank
I 'lit by the thing, 'twas a shepherd-boy,
Who, swimming, sought the island lone;
Within his clenchèd teeth a sword.
I heard the dreadful monotone
The water-serpent sings his heart
Before a death. O'er wave and bank
I cried the words you bid me cry,
The shepherd raised his arms and sank,
His rueful spirit fluttered by.
The shepherd raised his arms and sank,
His rueful spirit fluttered by.
– W.B. Yeats (1885)
