Analysis of The Dancer At Cruachan And Cro-Patrick
William Butler Yeats 1865 (Sandymount) – 1939 (Menton)
I, proclaiming that there is
Among birds or beasts or men
One that is perfect or at peace.
Danced on Cruachan's windy plain,
Upon Cro-patrick sang aloud;
All that could run or leap or swim
Whether in wood, water or cloud,
Acclaiming, proclaiming, declaiming Him.
