First Line: She lived in storm and strife
Last Line: That the night come.
Alternate Author Name(s): Yeats, W. B.
Subject(s): Death
SHE lived in storm and strife,
Her soul had such desire
For what proud death may bring
That it could not endure
The common good of life,
But lived as 'twere a king
That packed his marriage day
With banneret and pennon,
Trumpet and kettledrum,
And the outrageous cannon,
To bundle time away
That the night come.
