Sweet Dancer William Butler Yeats The girl goes dancing there On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth Grass plot of the garden; Escaped from bitter youth, Escaped out of her crowd, Or out of her black cloud. Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer. If strange men come from the house To lead her away, do not say That she is happy being crazy; Lead them gently astray; Let her finish her dance, Let her finish her dance. Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.!

"Sweet Dancer," written by W.B. Yeats in January of 1937.

Girl's Song I went out alone To sing a song or two, My fancy on a man, And you know who. Another came in sight That on a stick relied To hold himself upright; I sat and cried. And that was all my song - When everything is told, Saw I an old man young Or young man old?

"Girl's Song," written by W.B. Yeats in April of 1929.

More great #irishlit! Short but intense read following the journey of one man’s struggle to live by his values in the face of the deadly cruelty of the Catholic Church’s Magdalene Laundries in 1980s Ireland.
