back to W. B. Yeats

“He Hears the Cry of the Sedge” by W. B. Yeats 🇮🇪 (13 Jun 186528 Jan 1939)
I wander by the edge
Of this desolate lake
Where wind cries in the sedge:
Until the axle break
That keeps the stars in their round,
And hands hurl in the deep
The banners of East and West,
And the girdle of light is unbound,
Your breast will not lie by the breast
Of your beloved in sleep.
