Poem by William Butler Yeats

A Friend's Illness

Sickness brought me this
Thought, in that scale of his:
Why should I be dismayed
Though flame had burned the whole
World, as it were a coal,
Now I have seen it weighed
Against a soul?

1. These Are the Clouds
2. The Mask
3. The Wild Swans at Coole
4. The Cloak, the Boat and the Shoes
5. Fergus and the Druid
