Hasten down the wind ebook7/13/2023 With the earth and the sky and the water, remade, like a casket of goldįor my dreams of your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.Īnd how you have leaped times out of mind I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart, The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,Īre wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart. The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart, That you call in birds, in wind on the hill,ĪLL things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old, Have you not heard that our hearts are old, The host is rushing ‘twixt night and day, We come between him and the hope of his heart. We come between him and the deed of his hand, Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam, Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound, The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round, I have left out nearly all the long notes which seemed necessary before the work of various writers, but especially of my friend Lady Gregory, had made the circumstantial origins of my verse, in ancient legend or in the legends of the country side, familiar to readers of poetry. I have included one long poem in dramatic form, of which a much shortened version, intended for stage representation, is in my book of plays. THIS book contains all poetry not in dramatic form that I have written between my seven-and-twentieth year and the year 1921. ![]() To Be Carved On A Stone At Thoor Ballylee On Those That Hated “The Playboy Of The Western World,” 1907 To A Friend Whose Work Has Come To Nothing To A Wealthy Man Who Promised A Second Subscription To The Dublin Municipal Gallery If It Were Proved The People Wanted Pictures Upon A House Shaken By The Land Agitation To A Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators Of His And Mine On Hearing That The Students Of Our New University Have Joined The Agitation Against Immoral Literature The Players Ask For A Blessing On The Psalteries And On Themselvesįrom The Green Helmet And Other Poems (1912) The Old Men Admiring Themselves In The Water He Thinks Of His Past Greatness When A Part Of The Constellations Of Heaven The Poet Pleads With The Elemental Powers The Lover Pleads With His Friend For Old FriendsĪ Lover Speaks To The Hearers Of His Songs In Coming Days He Thinks Of Those Who Have Spoken Evil Of His Beloved The Lover Asks Forgiveness Because Of His Many Moods He Mourns For The Change That Has Come Upon Him And His Beloved And Longs For The End Of The World Let's take a look at some of Don Henley's best country music collaborations.This online edition was created and published by Global Grey on the 7th February 2023. The country star continues to tour as a member of the Eagles to this day.Īlthough the Eagles' impact on country music is immeasurable, this list will focus on Henley's individual work alongside some of the genre's biggest names. Gill has been open about his longtime love and admiration of the Eagles, even covering their track "I Can't Tell You Why" for the aforementioned tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles. Just over a year later, the remaining members of the Eagles joined Vince Gill and Frey's son Deacon to resume touring. ![]() His most recent record, 2015's Cass County, was packed with guest appearances from major country stars, and even an unexpected duet with The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger.įollowing the death of Eagles member Glenn Frey at the age of 67 from complications of rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia in 2016, Henley stated that he didn't think the Eagles would ever play together again publicly as a band. When the Eagles weren't touring, Henley spent time on his own solo projects. Travis Tritt's cover of "Take It Easy" earned major success on the charts, and the song's video, which featured a rare appearance by all of the Eagles members, was often cited by the band as a catalyst to the band's reunion the following year. In 1993, a tribute album entitled Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles was released, featuring covers of the band's most beloved songs from the biggest country stars of the era, including Trisha Yearwood, Brooks & Dunn, Tanya Tucker and Diamond Rio.
