1901.
INTO THE TWILIGHT
Out-worn heart, in a time
out-worn,
Come clear of the nets of
wrong and right;
Laugh, heart, again in the
gray twilight;
Sigh, heart, again in the
dew of the morn.
Thy mother Eire is always
young,
Dew ever shining and twilight
gray,
Though hope fall from thee
or love decay
Burning in fires of a slanderous
tongue.
Come, heart, where hill is
heaped upon hill,
For there the mystical brotherhood
Of hollow wood and the hilly
wood
And the changing moon work
out their will.
And God stands winding his
lonely horn;
And Time and World are ever
in flight,
And love is less kind than
the gray twilight,
And hope is less dear than
the dew of the morn.
