Where My Books Go

By William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)


ALL the words that I utter,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,	5
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken’d or starry bright.
