Butler Yeats\n recorded by Judy Collins\n \n I went out to the hazel - wood\n Because a fire was in my head \n Cut and peeled a hazel - wand \n Tied a berry to a thread \n And when white moths were on the wing\n And moth - white stars were flickering out\n I dropped the berry in a stream\n And caught a little silver trout..........\n \n I had but laid it on the bank \n And gone to blow the fire a-flame\n Something rustled in the air \n Something called me by my name!\n It had become a glimmering Girl\n With apple - blossom in her hair\n Who called me by my name, and ran\n And vanished in the brightening air........\n \n Though I am old, with wandering\n Thru hilly lands, and hollow lands;\n I'll find out where she has gone\n To seek her lips, to take her hands-\n And walk thru long green dappled grass;\n To pluck 'til Time, and times are done:\n The Silver Apples of the Moon;\n The Golden Apples of the Sun...............\n \n * \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2314","title":"Internet Book of Shadows: Song Of Wandering Aengus, The","type":"page"}
