TO A YOUNG GIRL
by: W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)
- Y dear, my dear, I know
- More than another
- What makes your heart beat so;
- Not even your own mother
- Can know it as I know,
- Who broke my heart for her
- When the wild thought,
- That she denies
- And has forgot,
- Set all her blood astir
- And glittered in her eyes.
