  1. The wind stole down from the Iveragh hills.
    Stole softly down upon scented feet.
    Past bee-sweet heather and golden furze,
    And stopped and whispered in ears of wheat,
    You were the straw that made the bed
    In Bethlehem's cave for the Christ King's Head.
    The wind went pattering o'er primrose land,
    By mossy boreens and briary brake,
    And stopped high up in the mountain ways.
