To a Child Dancing upon the Shore
Dance there upon the shore.
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet.
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won.
And he, the best warrior, dead
And all the sheaves to bind!
What need that you should dread
The monstrous crying of wind?
– William Butler Yeats (1912)
