W. B. Yeats,
The Yellow Book, Volume 13 — The Blessed
“ To gather the half of your blessedness And learn the prayers that you say. "I can bring you salmon out of the streams And heron out of the skies." But Dathi folded his hands and smiled With the secrets of God in his eyes. And Cumhal saw like a drifting smoke All manner of blessedest souls, Children and women and tonsured young men, And old men with croziers and stoles. "Praise God and God's Mother," Dathi said, "For God and God's Mother have sent The blessedest souls that walk in the world To fill your heart with content." ”
