Mythic themes as well as many other topics are masterfully explored in this rich selection of 134 lyrics chiefly selected from six volumes of verse published between 1889 and 1914. Among the poems included are \"The Stolen Child\" and \"Down by the Salley Gardens\" (\u003ci\u003eCrossways\u003c\/i\u003e, 1889); \"To the Rose upon the Rood of Time,\" \"The Lake Isle of Innisfree,\" \"When You Are Old,\" and \"To Ireland in the Coming Times\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, 1893); \"The Song of Wandering Aengus\" and \"A Poet to His Beloved\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wind Among the Reeds\u003c\/i\u003e, 1899); \"The Song of Red Hanrahan\" (\u003ci\u003eIn the Seven Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, 1903); \"No Second Troy\" and \"The Fascination of What's Difficult\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Green Helmet and Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, 1910); \"To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing\" and \"To a Shade\" (\u003ci\u003eResponsibilities\u003c\/i\u003e, 1914); and many more. This representative selection offers readers 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 anguished realism grounded in the poet's nationalistic and political sympathies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 8.22 x 5.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 23, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53455572238643,"sku":"9780486278087","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/yAT7KEjKAJ9780486278087.webp?v=1781232968","url":"https:\/\/rbangel-store.myshopify.com\/products\/early-poems-paperback-1","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
