The Host of the Air
! (W. B. Yeats)
> Dm C(Am) Dm
a: O'Driscoll drove with a song
> Dm C(Am) Dm
The wild duck and the drake
> Dm C Dm
From the tall and the tufted reeds
> G Am Dm
Of the drear Hart Lake.
a: And he saw how the reeds grew dark
At the coming of night-tide,
And dreamed of the long dim hair
Of Bridget his bride.
> Gm C
b: He heard while he sang and dreamed
> Gm C
A piper piping away,
> F G
And never was piping so sad,
> Am Dm
And never was piping so gay.
> Dm C Dm C
a: And he saw young men and young girls
Who danced on a level place,
And Bridget his bride among them,
With a sad and a gay face.
b: The dancers crowded about him
And many a sweet thing said,
And a young man brought him red wine
And a young girl white bread.
a: But Bridget drew him by the sleeve
Away from the merry bands,
To old men playing at cards
With a twinkling of ancient hands.
b: The bread and the wine had a doom,
For these were the host of the air;
He sat and played in a dream
Of her long dim hair.
a: He played with the merry old men
And thought not of evil chance,
Until one bore Bridget his bride
Away from the merry dance.
b: He bore her away in his arms,
The handsomest young man there,
And his neck and his breast and his arms
Were drowned in her long dim hair.
a: O'Driscoll scattered the cards
And out of his dream awoke:
Old men and young men and young girls
Were gone like a drifting smoke;
b: But he heard high up in the air
A piper piping away,
> F C G
And never was piping so sad,
> Am Dm
And never was piping so gay.
