Text by W. B. Yeats

The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare 
Through the hollow of an ear;
Wings beating about the room;
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.

Had I not found content among the shows 
Every common woman knows,
Chimney corner, garden walk,
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes 
And gather all the talk?

What is this flesh I purchased with my pains, 
This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart’s blood stop 
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?

The Mother Of God
