Child, how old are you?
THE CHILD. When winter sleep is abroad my hair grows thin, My feet unsteady. When the leaves awakenMy mother carries me in her golden arms;I'll soon put on my womanhood and marryThe spirits of wood and water, but who can tellWhen I was born for the first time? I thinkI am much older than the eagle cockThat blinks and blinks on Ballygawley Hill, And he is the oldest thing under the moon.
FATHER HART. O she is of the faery people.
THE CHILD. One called, I sent my messenger...s for milk and fire, She called again and after that I came.
(All except SHAWN and MARY BRUIN gather behind the priestfor protection. ) SHAWN (rising) Though you have made all these obedient, You have not charmed my sight and won from meA wish or gift to make you powerful;I'll turn you from the house.
FATHER HART. No, I will face her.
THE CHILD. Because you took away the crucifixI am so mighty that there's none can pass, Unless I will it, where my feet have dancedOr where I've whirled my finger-tops.
