jolie holland - wandering angus lyrics
(words by w.b. yeats, music by brian miller)
i went out to the hazelwood
because a fire was in my head
i cut and peeled a hazel wand
and hooked a berry to a thread
and when white moths were on the wing
and moth-like stars were flickering out
i dropped a berry in a stream
and caught a little silver trout
when i had laid it on the floor
and went to blow the fire aflame
and something rustled on the floor
and something called me by my name
it had become a glimmering girl
with apple blossoms in her hair
who called me by my name and ran
and vanished in the brightening air
though i am old with wandering
through hollow lands and hilly lands
i will find out where she has gone
and kiss her lips and take her hand
and walk through long green dappled gr-ss
and pluck till time and times are done
the silver apples of the moon
and the golden apples of the sun
