The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats, Vol. 3 (of 8) / The Countess Cathleen. The Land of Heart's Desire. The Unicorn from the Stars

by W. B. Yeats

The treasure-room is broken in—mavrone—mavrone;

The door stands open and the gold is gone.

[The peasants raise a lamenting cry.

CATHLEEN.

Be silent. [The cry ceases.

Saw you any one?

OONA.

Mavrone,

That my good mistress should lose all this money.

CATHLEEN.
