HANRAHAN LAMENTS BECAUSE OF HIS WANDERINGS, by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O where is our mother of peace Last Line: Under her purple hood. Alternate Author Name(s): Yeats, W. B. | ||||||||
O where is our Mother of Peace Nodding her purple hood? For the winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood. I would that the death-pale deer Had come through the mountain side, And trampled the mountain away, And drunk up the murmuring tide; For the winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood, And our Mother of Peace has forgot me Under her purple hood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOLOMON TO SHEBA by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE COMING OF WISDOM WITH TIME by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE COUNTESS CATHLEEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE COUNTESS CATHLEEN IN PARADISE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FISH by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE GREY ROCK by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE HAWK by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE KING'S THRESHOLD by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE LOVER MOURNS FOR THE LOSS OF LOVE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE LOVER PLEADS WITH HIS FRIENDS FOR OLD FRIENDS by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE PLAYERS ASK FOR A BLESSING ON THE PSALTERIES AND ON THEMSELVES by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS |
