‘Under bare Ben Bulben’s head

In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid. An ancestor was rector there

Long years ago, a church stands near,

By the road an ancient cross. No marble, no conventional phrase;

On limestone quarried near the spot

By his command these words are cut:

Cast a cold eye

On life, on death.

Horseman, pass by!’
