The Wild Swans

The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty swans.

Have had a flying visit to Sligo to give a keynote at a conference and before heading back managed to visit Yeats' grave. The church was closed but managed to catch the swans
