The Fiddler of Dooney

W.B.YEATS

   When I play on my fiddle in Dooney,

  Folk dance like a wave of the sea;

  My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet,

  My brother in Mocharabuiee.

  I passed my brother and cousin:

  They read in their books of prayer;

  I read in my book of songs

  I bought at the Sligo fair.

 When we come at the end of time

 To Peter sitting in state,

 He will smile on the three old spirits,

But call me fu t through the gate;

For the good are always the merry,

Save by an evil chance,

And the merry love the  fiddle,

And the merry love to dance:

And when the folk there spy me,

They will all come up to me,

With 'Here is the fiddler of Dooney!'

And dance like a wave of the sea.
