Poem by William Butler Yeats

The Pity of Love

  A pity beyond all telling
  Is hid in the heart of love:
  The folk who are buying and selling
  The clouds on their journey above
  The cold wet winds ever blowing
  And the shadowy hazel grove
  Where mouse-gray waters are flowing
  Threaten the head that I love.

1. Against Unworthy Praise
2. An Appointment
3. The Fascination of What's Difficult
4. Beggar to Beggar Cried
5. Running to Paradise
