The innocent and the beautiful
Have no enemy but time;
In memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markiewicz
W.B. Yeats
Earth, receive an honoured guest;
William Yeats is laid to rest:
Let the Irish vessel lie
Emptied of its poetry.
Time that is intolerant
Of the brave and innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,
Worships language and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives;
Pardons cowardice, conceit.
Lays its honours at their feet.
In Memory of W.B. Yeats
W.H. Auden
