The Well
Right in the village there's a little well
And the grass hides it,
Green grass in sap closely thatching it
I heard of it from an old woman
But she said: " The path is overgrown with bracken
Where I often walked with my cogin, .
And the cogin itself is warped."
When I looked in her lined face
I saw the bracken growing round the well of her eyes
And hiding it from seeking and from desires,
And closing it,closing it
"Nobody goes to that well now,"
Said the old woman,"as we once went,
When we were young,
though its water is lovely and white."
And when I looked in her eyes through the bracken4
I saw the sparkle of that water
That makes whole every hurt
Till the hurt of ffice
"And will you go there for me,"
Said the old woman,"even with a
thimble,
And bring me a drop of that hard water
That will bring colour to my cheeks."
I found the well at last,
And through her need was not the greatest
It was to her i brought the treasure
It may be that the well
vis something I saw in a dream
For today when I went to seek it
I found only bracken and rushes
And the old woman's eyes are closed
And a film has come over their merriment
