TO A CHILD DANCING IN THE WIND: 2, by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Has no one said those daring / kind eyes should be more learned? Last Line: And I speak a barbarous tongue. Alternate Author Name(s): Yeats, W. B. Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers | ||||||||
HAS no one said those daring Kind eyes should be more learn'd? Or warned you how despairing The moths are when they are burned? I could have warned you; but you are young, So we speak a different tongue. O you will take whatever's offered And dream that all the world's a friend. Suffer as your mother suffered, Be as broken in the end. But I am old and you are young, And I speak a barbarous tongue. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAMED DANCER DIES OF PHOSPHORUS POISONING by RICHARD HOWARD ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN A DANCER'S LIFE by DONALD JUSTICE DANCING WITH THE DOG by SUSAN KENNEDY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS THE CHILDREN DANCING by LAURENCE BINYON SIXTEEN DEAD MEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS |
