I am come to cry with you, woman,
My hair is unwound and unbound;
I remember him ploughing his field,
Turning up the red side of the ground,
And building his barn on the hill
With the good mortared stone;
O! we'd have pulled down the gallows
Had it happened in Enniscrone!

 – W.B. Yeats (1902)

Spinning Song

There are seven that pull the thread. 
One lives under the waves,
And one where the winds are wove,
And one in the old gray house
Where the dew is made before dawn;
One lives in the house of the sun,
And one in the house of the moon,
And one lives under the boughs
Of the golden apple tree;

And one spinner is lost.
Holiest, holiest seven,

Put all your power on the thread
I have spun in the house this night!

– W.B. Yeats (1901)
