Poems by William Butler Yeats
Easter, 1916
... He, too, has been changed in his turn,  ...

... And loved your beauty with love false or true, ...
No Second Troy
... Why, what could she have done, being what she is ...
A Coat
... For there's more enterprise ...
The New Faces
... Where we wrought that shall break the teeth of Time ...
The Fisherman
... All day I'd looked in the face  ...
A Prayer for My Daughter
... Hearts are not had as a gift, but hearts are earned  ...
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
... And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, ...
The Cold Heaven
... Vanished, and left but memories, that should be out of season  ...

... and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams ...
Introductory Rhymes
... n forty-nineI have no child, I have nothing but a book,Nothing but that to prove your blood and mine ...
September 1913
... The names that stilled your childish play, ...
An Irish Airman Forsees His Death
... The years to come seemed waste of breath, ...
The Stolen Child
... can understand. Where the wave of moonlight glosses ...
Sailing To Byzantium
... IVOnce out of nature I shall never take ...
