Silenced by death in the grave
William Butler Yeats couldn't save
Why did you stand here
Were you sickened in time
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In a grave

"Why should I blame her, that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great
Had they but courage equal to desire..."

Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
But she had Mac Bride anyway
And you sit here with me
On the isle Innisfree
And you're writing down everything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In a grave


yes, i'm reading yeats again. he's good for the soul.
maybe later i'll do a compare and contrast of yeats to gloria anzaldua, the author of the book i'm currently reading for class.
