DALUA

I have heard you calling, Dalua
Dalua!
I have heard you on the hill,
By the pool-side still,
Where the lapwings shrill
Dalua ... dalua ... dalua!
What is it you call, Dalua,
Dalua!
When the rains fall,
When the mists crawl
And the curlews call
Dalua ... dalua ... dalua!
I am the Fool, Dalua,
Dalua!
When men hear me, their eyes
Darken: the shadow in the skies
Droops: and the keening-woman cries
Dalua ... Dalua ... Dalua
 

Dalüa, one of the names of a mysterious being in the Celtic mythology, the Fairy Fool.
