THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE.
23
Maire Bruin.
Your looks are all the candles that I need.
Shawn Bruin.
Once a fly dancing in a beam o' the sun,
Or the light wind blowing out of the dawn,
Could fill your heart with dreams none other knew,
But now the indissoluble sacrament
Has mixed your heart that was most proud and cold
With my warm heart for ever; and sun and moor
Must fade and heaven be rolled up like a scroll;
But your white spirit still walk by my spirit.
For not a power in earth and heaven and hell
Can break this bond binding heart unto heart.
[A Voice sings in the distance.
Maire Bruin.
Did you hear something call? O, guard me close,
Because I have said wicked things to-night.
