Jane’s prompt for a Month with Yeats: Day 14:
Today’s quote if from ‘To Ireland in the Coming Times’. I think the following lines have inspired a sonnet. I find this a hard form to write, but this one came without trying.
That you, in the dim coming times,
May know how my heart went with them
After the red-rose-bordered hem.’ —W.B. Yeats
white crosses
So many sons spent
for old men’s dreams
How much blood to sanctify
fresh hallowed ground?
