Lyrics taken from the poem

"The Song of Wandering Aegnus" by William Butler Yeats.

I went out to the hazel wood,

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

And when I had laid it on the floor

And went to blow the fire aflame,

Something rustled on the floor,

And some one called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossoms in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

When I'm old from wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lip and take her hand;

And walk among tall dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.
