Where old age cannot find them; Pairc-na-lea,

Where hazel and ash and privet blind the paths;

Dim Pairc-na-carraig, where the wild bees fling

Their sudden fragrances on the green air;

Dim Pairc-na-tarav, where enchanted eyes

Have seen immortal, mild, proud shadows walk;

Dim Inchy wood, that hides badger and fox

And marten-cat, and borders that old wood

Wise Biddy Early called the wicked wood:

Seven odours, seven murmurs, seven woods.
