For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
A Cradle Song William Butler 1899
bilby commented on the word ger-eagle
The Dannan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold:
I kiss my wailing child and press it to my breast,
And hear the narrow graves calling my child and me.
- W.B. Yeats, 'A Cradle Song'.
