AEDH THINKS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SPOKEN EVIL OF HIS BELOVED by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: HALF CLOSE YOUR EYELIDS, LOOSEN YOUR HAIR
Last Line: THEIR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN SHALL SAY THEY HAVE LIED.
Half close your eyelids, loosen your hair,
And dream about the great and their pride;
They have spoken against you everywhere,
But weigh this song with the great and their pride;
I made it out of a mouthful of air,
Their children's children shall say they have lied.
