Poem by William Butler Yeats

To a Young Girl

MY dear, my dear, I know
More than another
What makes your heart beat so;
Not even your own mother
Can know it as I know,
Who broke my heart for her
When the wild thought,
That she denies
And has forgot,
Set all her blood astir
And glittered in her eyes.

2. Parting
3. Under Ben Bulben
4. The Fairy Pendant
5. The Cap and Bells
