heart ! O heart ! if she'd but turn her head. You'd know the folly of being comforted. OLD MEMORY Thought fly to her when the end of day Awakens an old memory, and say, 'Your strength, that is so lofty and fierce and kind. It might call up a new age, calling to mind The queens that were imagined long ago, Is but half yours: he kneaded in the dough Through the long years of youth, and who would have thought It all, and more than it all, would come to naught, And that dear words meant nothing?' B...ut enough, For when we have blamed the wind we can blame love; Or, if there needs be more, be nothing said That would be harsh for children that have strayed. UNDER THE MOON 1 have no happiness in dreaming of Brycelinde, Nor Avalon the grass-green hollow, nor Joyous Isle, Where one found Lancelot crazed and hid him for a while; Nor Ulad, when Naoise had thrown a sail upon the wind. Nor lands that seem too dim to be burdens on the heart; Land-under- Wave, where out of the moon's light and the sun's Seven old sisters wind the threads of the long-lived ones; Land-of-the-Tower, where Aengus has thrown the gates apart, And Wood-of- Wonders, where one kills an ox at dawn.
