William Butler Yeats Quotes on God

3 quotes

  1. The years like great black oxen tread the world, And God the herdsman goads them on behind, And I am broken by their passing feet.

  2. Bow down, archangels, in your dim abode: Before you were, or any hearts to beat, Weary and kind one lingered by His seat; He made the world to be a grassy road Before her wandering feet.

  3. And God stands winding His lonely horn, And time and the world are ever in flight; And love is less kind than the grey twilight, And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.
