TO A SQUIRREL AT KYLE-NA-NO by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: COME PLAY WITH ME
Last Line: AND LET YOU GO.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; SQUIRRELS;
COME play with me;
Why should you run
Through the shaking tree
As though I'd a gun
To strike you dead?
When all I would do
Is to scratch your head
And let you go.
