SUPERNATURAL SONGS: 6. HE AND SHE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS THE MOON SIDLES UP
Last Line: All creation shivers / with that sweet cry
Subject(s): SOUL;

As the moon sidles up
Must she sidle up,
As trips the scared moon
Away must she trip:
His light had struck me blind
Dared I stop'.
She sings as the moon sings:
I am I, am I;
The greater grows my light
The further that I fly'.
All creation shivers
With that sweet cry
