HANRAHAN LAMENTS BECAUSE OF HIS WANDERINGS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: O where is our mother of peace
Last Line: Under her purple hood.
Alternate Author Name(s): Yeats, W. B.


O where is our Mother of Peace
Nodding her purple hood?
For the winds that awakened the stars
Are blowing through my blood.
I would that the death-pale deer
Had come through the mountain side,
And trampled the mountain away,
And drunk up the murmuring tide;
For the winds that awakened the stars
Are blowing through my blood,
And our Mother of Peace has forgot me
Under her purple hood.
