MARY HYNES

James Stephens

She is the sky of the sun, She is the dart Of love, She is the love of my heart,

She is a rune, She is above The women of the race of Eve As the sun is above the moon.

Lovely and airy the view from the hill That looks down Ballylea; But no good sight is good until By great good luck you see

The Blossom of the Branches walking towards you Airily.
