Where My Books go

by W. B. Yeats 1865–1939

From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)

Arts & Sciences

All the words that I utter,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,

And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken'd or starry bright.
