They sat with hearts untroubled	A
The clear sky sparkled above	B
And an ancient wisdom bubbled	A
From the lips of a youthful love	B
	-
They read in a coloured history	C
Of Egypt and of the Nile	D
And half it seemed a mystery	C
Familiar half the while	D
	-
Till living out of the story	C
Grew old Egyptian men	E
And a shadow looked forth Rory	C
And said We meet again	E
	-
And over Aileen a maiden	F
Looked back through the ages dim	G
She laughed and her eyes were laden	F
With an old time love for him	G
	-
In a mist came temples thronging	H
With sphinxes seen in a row	I
And the rest of the day was a longing	H
For their homes of long ago	I
	-
We'd go there if they'd let us	J
They said with wounded pride	K
They never think when they pet us	J
We are old like that inside	K
	-
There was some one round them straying	H
The whole of the long day through	L
Who seemed to say I am playing	H
At hide and seek with you	L
	-
And one thing after another	M
Was whispered out of the air	N
How God was a big kind brother	M
Whose home was in everywhere	N
	-
His light like a smile come glancing	H
From the cool cool winds as they pass	O
From the flowers in heaven dancing	H
And the stars that shine in the grass	O
	-
And the clouds in deep blue wreathing	H
And most from the mountains tall	P
But God like a wind goes breathing	H
A heart light of gold in all	P
	-
It grows like a tree and pushes	Q
Its way through the inner gloom	R
And flowers in quick little rushes	Q
Of love to a magic bloom	R
	-
And no one need sigh now or sorrow	I
Whenever the heart light flies	S
For it comes again on some morrow	I
And nobody ever dies	S
	-
The heart of the Wise was beating	H
In the children's heart that day	T
And many a thought came fleeting	H
And fancies solemn and gay	T
	-
They were grave in a way divining	H
How childhood was taking wings	U
And the wonder world was shining	H
With vast eternal things	U
	-
The solemn twilight fluttered	V
Like the plumes of seraphim	R
And they felt what things were uttered	V
In the sunset voice of Him	R
	-
They lingered long for dearer	M
Than home were the mountain places	Q
Where God from the stars dropt nearer	M
Their pale dreamy faces	Q
	-
Their very hearts from beating	H
They stilled in awed delight	W
For Spirit and children were meeting	H
In the purple ample night	W
	-
Dusk its ash grey blossoms sheds on violet skies	S
Over twilight mountains where the heart songs rise	S
Rise and fall and fade again from earth to air	N
Earth renews the music sweeter Oh come there	N
Come ma cushla come as in ancient times	X
Rings aloud and the underland with faery chimes	X
Down the unseen ways as strays each tinkling fleece	Y
Winding ever onward to a fold of peace	Y
So my dreams go straying in a land more fair	N
Half I tread the dew wet grasses half wander there	N
Fade your glimmering eyes in a world grown cold	Z
Come ma cushla with me to the mountain's fold	Z
Where the bright ones call us waving to and fro	I
Come my children with me to the Ancient go	I
	-
October	M
