They’ll poison thee! Think not the light is fair,

It is false dawn. Take thou the darkling way

Shall lead thee to white light and lasting bloom!

Go thou to Morbec. Take thy distaff up,

Spin thou thy flax and listen to old tales,

Peacefully, with that smile upon thy lip!

Or in the dewy dawn lift up thy head

From dreamless sleep and drive thy cows afield,

Stand mid the golden broom and mark the mist

Rise from the hidden sea, and hear the lark
