William Butler Yeats - Beggar To Beggar Cried
Work rating: Low

"TIME to put off the world and go somewhere
And find my health again in the sea air,`
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"And make my soul before my pate is bare.-
"And get a comfortable wife and house
To rid me of the devil in my shoes,`
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"And the worse devil that is between my thighs.`
And though I`d marry with a comely lass,
She need not be too comely — let it pass,`
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"But there`s a devil in a looking-glass.`
"Nor should she be too rich, because the rich
Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,`
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"And cannot have a humorous happy speech.`
"And there I`ll grow respected at my ease,
And hear amid the garden`s nightly peace.`
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"The wind-blown clamour of the barnacle-geese.`
