Baile and Aillinn

Baile the Sweet - Spoken, among the Gael's the stories of Baile the Sweet-Spoken , was love by women most, Aillinn was in love with Baile of the honey-mouth, it is said that when Baile saw Aillinn was dead his heart was broking and when Aillinn saw Baile dead , her life went in a breath and her beauty lay still like a flame.

Each were buried where thy fell and a Apple-tree grew out of the grave of Aillinn and a Yew-tree grew out of Baile's grave and the branches of the Apple-tree and the Yew-tree had unseen powers of the Moon and the Sun , when seven years passed the Apple-tree and the Yew -tree were laid low, and poets and seers , mad tablets of the Apple-wood, and the Yew-wood and their after wrote of the beautiful words of the world and Tir-na-oog, so now the Apple-tree and the Yew -tree are sacred emblems of love and death.
