Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Death by William Butler Yeats Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;
He knows death to the bone --
Man has created death.
