into the twilight

W.B. Yeats (18651939). The Wind Among the Reeds. 1899. 8. Into the Twilight OUT-WORN heart, in a time out-worn, Come clear of the nets of wrong and right; Laugh heart again in the gray twilight, Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn. Your mother Eire is always young, 5 Dew ever shining and twilight gray; Though hope fall from you and love decay, Burning in fires of a slanderous tongue. Come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill: For there the mystical brotherhood 10 Of sun and moon and hollow and wood And river and stream work out their will; And God stands winding His lonely horn, And time and the world are ever in flight; And love is less kind than the gray twilight, 15 And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.
