Out-worn heart， in a time out-worn，

    Come clear of the nets of wrong and right；

    Laugh， heart， again in the grey twilight¹，

    Sigh， heart， again in the dew of the morn.

    Your mother Eire is always young，

    Dew ever shining and twilight grey；

    Though hope fall from you and love decay，

    Burning in fires of a slanderous² tongue.

    Come， heart， where hill is heaped upon hill：

    For there the mystical brotherhood³

    Of sun and moon and hollow and wood

    And river and stream work out their will；

    And God stands winding⁴ His lonely horn，

    And time and the world are ever in flight；

    And love is less kind than the grey twilight，

    And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.
