William Butler Yeats
The Deck of a Galley
An old love story. The ancient Sea God Forgael embarks on a journey. He communicates with souls appearing to him in the guise of birds, who promise him love should he follow them. His crew, believing him to be mad, capture a ship upon which they find a queen, and eventually leave Forgael and the woman alone to follow the birds.
