Poems by William Butler Yeats
The Secret Rose
... And sought through lands and islands numberless years, ...
A Memory Of Youth
... Till pride had made her eyes grow bright, ...
His Phoenix
... be done: I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day ...
To Be Carved On A Stone At Thoor Ballylee
... With old mill boards and sea-green slates, ...
Symbols
... Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade, ...
Young Man's Song
... And beat upon the bone:'Uplift those eyes and throw ...
The Heart Of The Woman
... That was brimmed up with prayer and rest ...
Spilt Milk
... We that have done and thought, ...
Cuchulain Comforted
... 'Your life can grow much sweeter if you will'Obey our ancient rule and make a shroud ...
A Man Young And Old: III. The Mermaid
... A mermaid found a swimming lad, ...
Her Anxiety
... All true love must die, ...
The Fiddler Of Dooney
... And the merry love to dance:And when the folk there spy me, ...
On Woman
... And know what once I have known, ...
Demon And Beast
... What had the Caesars but their thrones ...
Sixteen Dead Men
... While those dead men are loitering there ...
