The Ballad of the Fairy Thorn-Tree
"The Ballad of the Fairy Thorn-Tree" is a haunting Irish poem in which a desperate young woman ventures to a fairy thorn-tree on Hallow Eve, calling upon dark forces to find her lost lover. When a shadowy figure tells her he drowned at sea, she bargains piece by piece — her jewels, her ring, her very soul — to bring him back. With each terrible price paid, she unknowingly places those closest to her in grave danger, and must choose between her own salvation and the man she cannot bear to lose.
