They had vanished;
But out of the dark air over her head there came
A murmur of soft words and meeting lips.
BAILE AND AILLINN
Argument. Baile and Aillinn were lovers, but Aengus, the Master of Love, wishing them to be happy in his own land among the dead, told to each a story of the other’s death, so that their hearts were broken and they died.
I hardly hear the curlew cry,
Nor the grey rush when the wind is high,
Before my thoughts begin to run
