The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes.
Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray,
And when I cross'd the Wild,
Perhaps some day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue,
William Butler Yeats - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
141 years ago on 13th June 1865 William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin, Ireland. Yeats mad
The centuries found me to nations unknown –
My people have crowned me and made me a throne;
The song is gone; the dance
is secret with the dancers in the earth,
Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the way
With blossom'd furze unprofitably gay,
In the morning of life's day, All before is bright and gay,
Ay Momino! Hussain ka matam akheer hai
Bazm e azaa e qibla e alam akheer hai
Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
COOK was a captain of the Admiralty When sea-captains had the evil eye,
Jab qata ki masafat e shab aaftaab ne
Jalwa kiya sahar ke rukhe behijaab ne
Beside his heavy-shouldered team
thirsty with drought and chilled with rain,
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will set out. You see, I know that you wait for me.
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Jheelon se chaar paaye na uthte thay taaba shaam
Maskan mein machliyoon ke samandar ka tha maqaam
Your battle-wounds are scars upon my heart, Received when in that grand and tragic 'show'
There was a Boy; ye knew him well, ye cliffs And islands of Winander! many a time,
My soul tremulous and forlorn At nightfall will grow lonely:
Ah, you should see Cynddylan on a tractor.
Gone the old look that yoked him to the soil,
1. Cogida and death
At five in the afternoon.
No costly gifts have I to bring,
To grace your festive board,
"Tulsi Tulsi sab kahe,Tulsi ban ki ghaas
I love you for your brownness, And the rounded darkness of your breast,
We've fought with many men acrost the seas,
An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not:
The voice that would reach you, Hunter, must speak in Biblical tones, or in the poetry of Walt Whitman.
Along the wharves in sailor town a singing whisper goes
Of the wind among the anchored ships, the wind that blows
We shan't see Willy any more, Mamie,
He won't be coming any more:
Jackey Jackey gallops on a horse like a swallow
Where the carbines bark and the blackboys hollo.
Dear to my soul! ah, early lost!
Affection's arm was weak to save:
