MEMORY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: ONE HAD A LOVELY FACE
Last Line: WHERE THE MOUNTAIN HARE HAS LAIN.
Subject(s): LOVE - EROTIC; IMAGINATION; LOVE; VISION; FANCY;
ONE had a lovely face,
And two or three had charm,
But charm and face were in vain
Because the mountain grass
Cannot but keep the form
Where the mountain hare has lain.
