HE WISHES HIS BELOVED WERE DEAD
by: William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
    ERE you but lying cold and dead,
    And lights were paling out of the West,
    You would come hither, and bend your head,
    And I would lay my head on your breast;
    And you would murmur tender words,
    Forgiving me, because you were dead:
    Nor would you rise and hasten away,
    Though you have the will of wild birds,
    But know your hair was bound and wound
    About the stars and moon and sun:
    O would, beloved, that you lay
    Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
    While lights were paling one by one.
Next Week: Memory
