A POET TO HIS BELOVED
by: William Butler Yeats
(1865-1939)
- BRING you with reverent hands
- The books of my numberless dreams,
- White woman that passion has worn
- As the tide wears the dove-grey sands,
- And with heart more old than the horn
- That is brimmed from the pale fire of time:
- White woman with numberless dreams,
- I bring you my passionate rhyme.
"A Poet to His Beloved"
is reprinted from The Wind Among the Reeds. W.B. Yeats.
London: Elkin Mathews, 1899. |
