William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
A Prayer for my Daughter (1919) (katkelma)
All hatred driven hence,
The soul recovers radical innocence
And learns at last that it is self-delighting,
Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,
And that its own sweet will is Heavens will;
She can, though every face should scowl
And every windy quarter howl
Or every bellows burst, be happy still.
