How long the Christian Vigils... <br />How long those silent nights <br />Of Sacred Fire, <br />Frightened Monks... <br />And, in the Barrows, <br />Laughing Wights... <br /> <br />Twine the Linden <br />Round the Ash... <br />Mortal life <br />Beyond Last Rites. <br /> <br />'All this beauty is of God'... <br />Dagda not considered... <br />Nor the Cauldron, <br />Nor the Dragon. <br />Tuatha left for Gallic shores... <br />Mistletoe Fairies...mitred. <br /> <br />Twine the Linden <br />Round the Ash... <br />Mortal life <br />Beyond Last Rites.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/isle-of-wight/
