A Faery Song
Sung
by
the
people
of
Faery
over
Diarmuid
and
Grania,
in
their
bridal
sleep
under
a
Cromlech.
WE
who
are
old,
old
and
gay,
O
so
old!
Thousands
of
years,
thousands
of
years,
If
all
were
told:
Give
to
these
children,
new
from
the
world,
Silence
and
love;
And
the
long
dew-dropping
hours
of
the
night,
And
the
stars
above:
Give
to
these
children,
new
from
the
world,
Rest
far
from
men.
Is
anything
better,
anything
better?
Tell
us
it
then:
Us
who
are
old,
old
and
gay,
O
so
old!
Thousands
of
years,
thousands
of
years,
If
all
were
told.
