W B Yeats – Collected Poems
Of golden king and silver lady
Bellowing up and bellowing round
Till ties mastered a sweet measure
Mouth mastered a sweet sound
Prancing round and prancing up
Until they pranced upon the top
That golden king and that wild lady
Sang till stars began to fade
Hands gripped in hands, toes close together
Hair spread on the wind they made
That lady and that golden king
Could like a brace of blackbirds sing
