The Harp of Aengus + 

Edain came out of Midher’s hill, and lay + 

Beside young Aengus in his tower of glass, + 

Where time is drowned in odour-laden winds + 

And druid moons, and murmuring of boughs, + 

And sleepy boughs, and boughs where apples made + 

Of opal and ruby and pale chrysolite + 

Awake unsleeping fires; and wove seven strings, + 

Sweet with all music, out of his long hair, + 

Because her hands had been made wild by love. + 

When Midher’s wife had changed her to a fly, + 

He made a harp with druid apple wood + 

That she among her winds might know he wept; + 

And from that hour he has watched over none + 

But faithful lovers. + 
