CEOL SIDHE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When may is here, and every morn
Last Line: And all is melody.
Subject(s): Fairies; May (month); Music & Musicians; Elves


WHEN May is here, and every morn
Is dappled with pied bells,
And dewdrops glance along the thorn
And wings flash in the dells,
I take my pipe and play a tune
Of dreams, a whispered melody,
For feet that dance beneath the moon
In fairy jollity.

And when the pastoral hills are grey
And the dim stars are spread,
A scamper fills the grass like play
Of feet where fairies tread.
And many a little whispering thing
Is calling to the Shee.
The dewy bells of evening ring,
And all is melody.
