The Song of Wandering Aengus - William Butler Yeats (Powerful Life Poetry)

The Song of Wandering Aengus- WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Read by Sam Neill

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 a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone 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.

It's mesmeric, and works on you before the words do.

The repetition, the " ands " almost childlike in storytelling, and such yearning of Áonghus !

[virginiaconnor]

This was the basis for the "Enterprise" episode 'Rogue Planet'. Cpt. Archer's memory of this poem read by his mother I believe.
