THE MOODS by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: TIME DROPS IN DECAY
Last Line: HAS FALLEN AWAY?
Subject(s): TIME; TRANSCIENCE;
Time drops in decay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
What one in the rout
Of the fire-born moods
Has fallen away?
