A Drinking Song
- by William Butler Yeats 206
WINE comes in at the mouthAnd love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven
- by William Butler Yeats 177
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
