The Wind Among the Reeds
By W. B. Yeats
W. B. Yeats's 1899 collection The Wind Among the Reeds gathers short, musical lyrics of love and longing, among them He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven and The Song of Wandering Aengus. The poems draw on Irish legend, folklore and mystical symbolism, and several speak through figures such as Aedh, Hanrahan and Michael Robartes. Many were shaped by Yeats's unrequited love for Maud Gonne.
