A Faery Song lyrics
by William Butler Yeats
We who are old, old and gay
O so old!
Thousands of years, thousands of years
If all were told:
Give to these children, new from the world
Silence and love;
And the long dew-dropping hours of the night
And the stars above:
Give to these children, new from the world
Rest far from men
Is anything better, anything better?
Tell us it then:
Us who are old, old and gay
O so old!
Thousands of years, thousands of years
If all were told
