Lyrics by william butler yeats arr. by loreena mckennitt

Beloved gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start
And al the trembling flowers they bear.
The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light;
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night;
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody
And made my lips and music wed
Murmuring a wizard song for thee.

There the loves a circle go
The flaming circle of our days
Gyring spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways;
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved gaze in thine own heart.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons with their subtle guile
Lift up before us when they pass
Or only gaze a little while;
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives
Roots half hidden under snows
Broken boughs and blackened leaves.
For all things turn to barenness
In the dim glass the demons hold
The glass of outer weariness
Made when god slept in times of old.
There through the broken branches go
The ravens of unresting thought;
Flying crying to and fro
Cruel claw and hungry throat
Or else they stand and stiff the wind
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind:
Gaze no more in the bitter glass.

Beloved gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care:
