The Host of the Air ! (W. B. Yeats) > Dm C(Am) Dm a: O"Driscoll drove with a song > Dm C(Am) Dm The wild duck and the drake > Dm C Dm From the tall and the tufted reeds > G Am Dm Of the drear Hart Lake. a: And he saw how the reeds grew dark At the coming of night-tide, And dreamed of the long dim hair Of Bridget his bride. > Gm C b: He heard while he sang and dreamed > Gm C A piper piping away, > F G And never was piping so sad, > Am Dm And never was piping so gay. > Dm C Dm C a: And he saw young men and young girls Who danced on a level place, And Bridget his bride among them, With a sad and a gay face. b: The dancers crowded about him And many a sweet thing said, And a young man brought him red wine And a young girl white bread. a: But Bridget drew him by the sleeve Away from the merry bands, To old men playing at cards With a twinkling of ancient hands. b: The bread and the wine had a doom, For these were the host of the air, He sat and played in a dream Of her long dim hair. a: He played with the merry old men And thought not of evil chance, Until one bore Bridget his bride Away from the merry dance. b: He bore her away in his arms, The handsomest young man there, And his neck and his breast and his arms Were drowned in her long dim hair. a: O"Driscoll scattered the cards And out of his dream awoke: Old men and young men and young girls Were gone like a drifting smoke, b: But he heard high up in the air A piper piping away, > F C G And never was piping so sad, > Am Dm And never was piping so gay.
