by William Butler Yeats

Audiobook
Listen to a sample Listen to a sample

One of the greatest poets of the century, the Nobel laureate William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) drew upon Irish folklore and myth as inspiration for much of his early poetry. This representative selection offers a splendid sampling of the distinctive Yeatsian voice-romantic, yearning, full of the magic and mysticism Yeats imbibed as a boy in the West of Ireland, later counterbalanced by an anguish realism grounded in the poet's nationalistic and political sympathies. – Among the poems included are –  The Stolen Child, Down by the Salley Garden, The Song of Wandering Aengus, The Everlasting Voices, A Poet to his Beloved, No Second Troy, Reconciliation, A Friend's Illness, and more.
