Poem: “For Anne Gregory” by William Butler Yeats A certain poet in Galway town Had told the laugh-smiths among his crew That children growing up will know What old books tell and limericks say: He’s damned severe with young and old And those that ought to mend their ways. But maybe he will now be told How Anne Gregory grew so bold To take a motley cock in hand, That might be any other bird. Then, under that old roof and bough, They paced about the faded room, “Come, bird, or cat, or anything That walks, or leaps, or fails to do As she would have him! Bring your friends All that you carry in your head And drop it on the floor!” And then She cast herself upon the bed, And, sitting down upon the floor, She took this bird with her two hands And laid it on her shoulder-blade, And thereupon that bird began To flourish like a fountain-jet, But made exceeding bitter noise Until he’d cried himself to sleep, And then, because he’d cried so much, Became a woman of laments, And that made her laugh. And this she said: “I have met such crowds of fools That still have many merry days And those that have not, dared I say, But for the mirth of the poor old, Who would have done with all things there But that my merry days make less The burden of the foolishness That cries in the cracked voice of age And self-indulgent, tired and proud.” And then she’d pour into my ears The strange and foolish names they had, Names such as in old verse they use, “Synod of Fools” and “Fools’ Carouse,” “Earl Strangeways’ Daughters” and “Pearl Town.” And now, though I would never dare Consistently, as she to mock, Such notes as hers that lighted up The darkness with such radiant talk, I’d think “There’s fool been in my house” Musing upon the play of names And on the way these lights had shone In young girl’s dreams like lamps of flame.
