The Waterboys - Love and death lyrics
(WB Yeats)
 Behold the flashing waters
 A cloven dancing jet,
 That from the milk-white marble
 For ever foam and fret;
 Far off in drowsy valleys
 Where the meadow saffrons blow,
 The feet of summer dabble
 In their coiling calm and slow.
 The banks are worn forever
 By a people sadly gay:
 A Titan with loud laughter,
 Made them of fire clay.
 Go ask the springing flowers,
 And the flowing air above,
 What are the twin-born waters,
 And they'll answer Death and Love.The Waterboys - Love and death - http://motolyrics.com/the-waterboys/love-and-death-lyrics.html
 With wreaths of withered flowers
 Two lonely spirits wait
 With wreaths of withered flowers
 'Fore paradise's gate.
 They may not pass the portal
 Poor earth-enkindled pair,
 Though sad is many a spirit
 To pass and leave them there
 Still staring at their flowers,
 That dull and faded are.
 If one should rise beside thee,
 The other is not far.
 Go ask the youngest angel,
 She will say with bated breath,
 By the door of Mary's garden
 Are the spirits Love and Death.
