Hanrahan Laments Because Of His Wanderings

Listen in the reader

O where is our Mother of Peace Nodding her purple hood? For the winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood. I would that the death-pale deer Had come through the mountain side, And trampled the mountain away, And drunk up the murmuring tide; For the winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood. And our Mother of Peace has forgot me Under her purple hood.
