 1 1 do not know of anything under the sky That is friendly or favourable to the Gael, But only the sea that our need brings us to, Or the wind that blows to the harbour The ship that is bearing us away from Ireland ; And there is reason that these are reconciled with us, For we increase the sea with our tears, And the wandering wind with our sighs."

LADY GREGORY.
