English Poetry. William Butler Yeats. A Coat. Уильям Батлер Йейтс.

William Butler Yeats (Уильям Батлер Йейтс)

A Coat

I MADE my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eyes
As though they'd wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.
