his head,?a holly-bush at his feet;?Where spreads the beautiful water?to gay or cloudy skies,?And the purple peaks of Killarney?from ancient woods arise.
THE RUINED CHAPEL
By the shore, a plot of ground?Clips a ruin'd chapel round,?Buttress'd with a grassy mound;?Where Day and Night and Day go by,?And bring no touch of human sound.
Washing of the lonely seas,?Shaking of the guardian trees,?Piping of the salted breeze;?Day and Night and Day go by?To the endless tune of these.
Or when, as winds and waters keep?A hush more dead than any sleep,?Still morns to stiller evenings creep,?And Day and Night and Day go by;?Here the silence is most deep.
The empty ruins, lapsed again?Into Nature's wide domain,?Sow themselves with seed and grain?As Day and Night and Day go by;?And hoard June's sun and April's rain.
Here fresh funeral tears were shed;?Now the graves are also dead;?And suckers from the ash-tree spread,?While Day and Night and Day go by;?And stars move calmly overhead.
Here end sixteen poems, written by William Allingham, and?selected for re-printing by William Butler Yeats. Printed?upon paper made in Ireland, and published by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats at the Dun Emer Press, in the house of Evelyn Gleeson at Dundrum, in the county of Dublin, Ireland, finished on the fifteenth day of September, in the year 1905.
