The Old Age Of Queen Maeve

itill and stony limbs and open eyes.
Maeve ed, and w ear-piercing noise
Broke from ed lips and broke again,
Sher of his shoulders,
And shook him wide awake, and bid him say

nothing,
he could remember when he had had fine dreams.

Over te-he Brown Bull.
Surned ao sleep

matters among the Sidhe,
Maeve great h a sigh
Lifted tain of her sleeping-room,
Remembering t soo had seemed divine

And t of days body,
And of t famous Fergus, Nessas husband,

And not h his own voice or a mans voice,
But he burning, live, unshaken voice
Of t, it may be, can never age.

For I am Aengus, and I am crossed in love.
