Condición: Good. Handcoloured letterpress. 37.5 x 27.2cm.Cuala Press, Printer.Schooner Foundation, Sponsor.Ryan, Vin (Vincent J.), Donor.Yeats, Georgie, -1968, Printer.Yeats, Elizabeth Corbet, 1868-1940, Printer. Letts' poem begins its first two lines, ?God keep my jewel this day from danger/ From tinker and pooka and black-hearted stranger,?which speak to both the Christian theme of children as jewels and Irish myths of everyday dangers. While tinker is a pejorative term for Irish travelers, pooka or puca refers to the Gaelic tradition of evil goblin creatures who live in the mountain or hillside. The presence of the spinning wheel also reminds the viewer of arduousness and labor-filled day of a good Irish mother.
