A Poem By Yeats Lyrics

The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves,

The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,

And all that famous harmony of leaves,

Had blotted out man's image and his cry.

A girl arose that had red mournful lips

And seemed the greatness of the world in tears,

Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring shipsAgalloch - A Poem By Yeats - http://motolyrics.com/agalloch/a-poem-by-yeats-lyrics.html

And proud as Priam murdered with his peers;

Arose, and on the instant clamorous eaves,

A climbing moon upon an empty sky,

And all that lamentation of the leaves,

Could but compose man's image and his cry.

[From the poem "The Sorrow of Love" by William Butler Yeats]
