W.B. Yeats (1865–1939). The Wind Among the Reeds. 1899.

16. Hanrahan reproves the Curlew

O, CURLEW, cry no more in the air,

Or only to the waters in the West;

Because your crying brings to my mind

Passion-dimmed eyes and long heavy hair

That was shaken out over my breast:

There is enough evil in the crying of wind.
