about

A poem by William Butler Yeats wherein he happens upon a faery maiden whose beauty so bewitches him that he searches for her all the rest of his days.

lyrics

Song of Wandering Aengus
by William Butler Yeats

I went down to the hazelwood
Because a fire was in my head
I cut and peeled a hazel wand
And hooked a berry to a thread
And when white moths were on the wing
And moth white stars were flickering out
I dropped the berry in the stream
And caught a little silver trout

And when I laid it on the ground
And went to blow the fire aflame
Something rustled on the ground
And someone called me by my name
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossoms in her hair
She called me by my name and ran
And vanished in the brightening air

And though I'm old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
I will find out where she has gone
Ad kiss her lips and take her hands
I'll walk through long green dappled grass
I'll walk till time and time is done
The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun
