  • Under bare Ben Bulben's head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid, 
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago; a church stands near,
By the road an ancient Cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase, 
On limestone quarried near the spot 
By his command these words are cut:  Cast a cold eye  On life, on death.  Horseman, pass by!
