I	A
	-
On the grey rock of Cashel the mind's eye	A
Has called up the cold spirits that are born	B
When the old moon is vanished from the sky	A
And the new still hides her horn	B
	-
Under blank eyes and fingers never still	C
The particular is pounded till it is man	D
When had I my own will	C
O not since life began	D
	-
Constrained arraigned baffled bent and unbent	E
By these wire jointed jaws and limbs of wood	E
Themselves obedient	E
Knowing not evil and good	E
	-
Obedient to some hidden magical breath	F
They do not even feel so abstract are they	G
So dead beyond our death	F
Triumph that we obey	G
	-
II	A
	-
On the grey rock of Cashel I suddenly saw	H
A Sphinx with woman breast and lion paw	H
A Buddha hand at rest	E
Hand lifted up that blest	E
	-
And right between these two a girl at play	G
That it may be had danced her life away	G
For now being dead it seemed	E
That she of dancing dreamed	E
	-
Although I saw it all in the mind's eye	A
There can be nothing solider till I die	A
I saw by the moon's light	E
Now at its fifteenth night	E
	-
One lashed her tail her eyes lit by the moon	I
Gazed upon all things known all things unknown	J
In triumph of intellect	E
With motionless head erect	E
	-
That other's moonlit eyeballs never moved	E
Being fixed on all things loved all things unloved	E
Yet little peace he had	E
For those that love are sad	E
	-
Little did they care who danced between	K
And little she by whom her dance was seen	K
So she had outdanced thought	E
Body perfection brought	E
	-
For what but eye and ear silence the mind	E
With the minute particulars of mankind	E
Mind moved yet seemed to stop	L
As 'twere a spinning top	L
	-
In contemplation had those three so wrought	E
Upon a moment and so stretched it out	E
That they time overthrown	J
Were dead yet flesh and bone	J
	-
III	A
	-
I knew that I had seen had seen at last	E
That girl my unremembering nights hold fast	E
Or else my dreams that fly	A
If I should rub an eye	A
	-
And yet in flying fling into my meat	E
A crazy juice that makes the pulses beat	E
As though I had been undone	M
By Homer's Paragon	N
	-
Who never gave the burning town a thought	E
To such a pitch of folly I am brought	E
Being caught between the pull	O
Of the dark moon and the full	O
	-
The commonness of thought and images	P
That have the frenzy of our western seas	Q
Thereon I made my moan	J
And after kissed a stone	J
	-
And after that arranged it in a song	R
Seeing that I ignorant for So long	R
Had been rewarded thus	S
In Cormac's ruined house	T
