DALUA by WILLIAM SHARP

Last Line: DALUA . . . DALUA . . . DALUA
Subject(s): FAIRIES; MYTHOLOGY - CELTIC; NATURE; ELVES;
I have heard you calling, Dalua
Dalua!
I have heard you on the hill,
By the pool-side still,
Where the lapwings shrill
@3Dalua . . . dalua . . . dalua!@1

What is it you call, Dalua,
Dalua!
When the rains fall,
When the mists crawl
And the curlews call
@3Dalua . . . dalua . . . dalua!

I am the Fool, Dalua,
Dalua!
When men hear me, their eyes
Darken: the shadow in the skies
Droops: and the keening-woman cries@1
DALUA . . . DALUA . . . DALUA
