lyrics

The Song of Wandering Aengus

Chorus
I’ll/And kiss her lips and take her hands and walk among long dappled grass and pluck ’til time and times are done the silver apples of the moon
the golden apples of the sun.

I went out to the hazel wood because a fire was in my head and 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 the berry in a stream
and caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor went to blow the fire aflame
But something rustled on the floor and someone called me by my name. It had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair
who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air.

(Chorus)

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 hands.
