A POET TO HIS BELOVED by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: I BRING YOU WITH REVERENT HANDS
Last Line: I BRING YOU MY PASSIONATE RHYME.
Subject(s): LOVE; POETRY & POETS;
I bring you with reverent hands
The books of my numberless dreams,
White woman that passion has worn
As the tide wears the dove-gray 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.
