about

The unrequited love W B Yeats had for Maud Gonne is the subject here as it was in many of Yeats' poems.

lyrics

The ‘Island … Statues’ brought you here
From England’s roar to Celtic cheer
Like an Irish lullaby
You sang our songs and caught my eye

Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams

You filled my soul, my love, my art
A secret rose growing in my heart
You are my one love, will always be
This isle divided you and me

Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams

I wore a coat of Irish history
You wore a future you meant to see
And though our passions tore us apart
You’re here in verse and in my heart

Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams
