I WISH AND I WISH

By Joseph Campbell

I wish and I wish

And I wish I were

A golden bee

In the blue of the air,

Winging my way

At the mouth of day

To the honey marges

Of Loch-ciuin-ban;

Or a little green drake,

Or a silver swan,

Floating upon

The stream of Aili,

And I to be swimming

Gaily, gaily!
