about

Here is another poem by WB Yeats which I have set to music.

lyrics

TO AN ISLE IN THE WATER
by: William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
G Em
Shy one, shy one,
D Am7
Shy one of my heart,
D Am7
She moves in the firelight
B Em
Pensively apart.

C G
She carries in the dishes,
D Am7
And lays them in a row.
D Am7
To an isle in the water
B Em
With her would I go.

She carries in the candles,
And lights the curtained room,
Shy in the doorway
And shy in the gloom;

And shy as a rabbit,
Helpful and shy.
To an isle in the water
With her would I fly.



from Crossways. W.B. Yeats. 1889.
