Lyrics

The Song of Wandering Aengus 

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire aflame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

    -- William Butler Yeats

Listener rankings & comments:

  • WilliamKnott said: Ghostly, beautiful and touching.
  • Phillip said: This track seems to be two songs mixed together, the ghostly and moving "Wandering Angus" and the upbeat "Mule" song --- but on the CD I have the album, the two songs aren't mixed together. Both songs are great, but I'm wondering...
  • Winona John said: nice instrumentation
  • DrBoB said: sorry, ignore my previous comment. wrong song
