Who would hear the fairy horn <br />Calling all the hounds of Finn <br />Must be in a lark's nest born <br />When the moon is very thin. <br /> <br />I who have the gift can hear <br />Hounds and horn and tally ho, <br />And the tongue of Bran as clear <br />As Christmas bells across the snow. <br /> <br />And beside my secret place <br />Hurries by the fairy fox, <br />With the moonrise on his face, <br />Up and down the mossy rocks. <br /> <br />Then the music of a horn <br />And the flash of scarlet men, <br />Thick as poppies in the corn <br />All across the dusky glen. <br /> <br />Oh! the mad delight of chase! <br />Oh ! the shouting and the cheer ! <br />Many an owl doth leave his place <br />In the dusty tree to hear.<br /><br />Francis Ledwidge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fairy-hunt/
