TO A YOUNG GIRL, by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATSPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: My dear, my dear, I know / more than another Last Line: And glittered in her eyes. Alternate Author Name(s): Yeats, W. B.
My dear, my dear, I know More than another What makes your heart beat so; Not even your own mother Can know it as I know, Who broke my heart for her When the wild thought, That she denies And has forgot, Set all her blood astir And glittered in her eyes.
