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
