Love dove
The island dreams ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
And ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ dance ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ sways upon ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ the ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ sea.
Here we ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ wander ¦¦¦¦ with woven hands,
Murmuring ¦¦¦¦¦¦ lip to lip,
Along ¦¦¦ grass, along ¦¦¦ sands,
Murmuring ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ away ¦¦¦ the unquiet lands:
How ¦¦¦ alone ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
A ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ burning heart,
One with ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ wings ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ heavy ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ dove
¦¦¦¦ moans ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ a hundred days:
How ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ eve ¦¦¦ hushed the feathered ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ blaze.
(Blackout of The Indian To His Love by William Butler Yeats)
