lyrics

Ego Dominus Tuus (W.B. Yeats)


C Dm
ON the grey sand beside the shallow stream
F Fm
Under your old wind-beaten tower, where still
Am Em
A lamp burns on beside the open book
F Em Dm
That Michael Robartes left, you walk in the moon
Em Bm
And though you have passed the best of life still trace
Am Em F
Enthralled by the unconquerable delusion
Em
Magical shapes.


F F9/E Dm7 Am7

By the help of an image
Dm7 Am7
I call to my own opposite, summon all
F F9/E Dm7 Am7
That I have handled least, least looked upon.

Bb Am D

And I would find myself and not an image.



That is our modern hope and by its light
We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind
And lost the old nonchalance of the hand;
Whether we have chosen chisel, pen or brush
We are but critics, or but half create,
Timid, entangled, empty and abashed
Lacking the countenance of our friends.


F9/E: xx2011
