written by William Butler YeatsDO you not hear me calling, white deer with no horns?
I have been changed to a hound with one red ear;
I have been in the Path of Stones and the Wood of Thorns,
For somebody hid hatred and hope and desire and fear
Under my feet that they follow you night and day.
A man with a hazel wand came without sound;
He changed me suddenly; I was looking another way;
And now my calling is but the calling of a hound;
And Time and Birth and Change are hurrying by.
I would that the Boar without bristles had come from the West
And had rooted the sun and moon and stars out of the sky
And lay in the darkness, grunting, and turning to his rest.

And talked away the night,
Told all that had been said or done
Since first we saw the light,

My Paistin Finn is my sole desire,
And I am shrunken to skin and bone,
For all my heart has had for its hire

Bolt and bar the shutter,
For the foul winds blow:
Our minds are at their best this night,
And I seem to know
