THE CELTIC TWILIGHT AND STORIES OF RED HANRAHAN BEING THE FIFTH VOLUME OF THE COLLECTED WORKS IN VERSE & PROSE OF WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
IMPRINTED AT THE SHAKESPEARE HEAD PRESS STRATFORD-ON-AVON MCMVIII
Time drops in decay
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
But, kindly old rout
Of the fire-born moods,
You pass not away.
The host is riding from Knocknarea,
And over the grave of Clooth-na-bare;
W. B. Yeats
