Let an old woman to look back may seem to be cruel and the gap between of the contrast will diffuse inthe heart. And in this gap, the poet gradually recognizes the firm love, which likes an unexpected gift, a surprise. As if the gentle stream are starting to flow from the iceberg and melting slowly out of it, with the huge source, which is a long process.The conception of the original whole poem in the first stanza describes that an old woman looks back to her love when she was young. What is love Perhaps it is only the one who is really experienced that kind of real emotion can have sincerely feelings of its appearance. But no matter how, the memory of love is the sweetest and most often does when he or she is old just as what is written in the poem, beauty is old, the appearance is gone, and she is sitting by the fire and starts reviewing the past love.“How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face”,since the poem has already opened, the feeling of the poet has been read slowly, after so long trial, he can't wait to contrast with other admirer, and express his strong feeling in his heart, which hasbeen shaking his emotion.Other's "false or true" has passed through her long life, while his love to her pilgrim's soul, sweet and sad, in a few years. The faith of love let poet could no longer tell carefully, finally he sorrows unbearably, and compares himself to the only person passionately and proudly; "Only a man" is the most interest to her pursues, beyond time, space and secular.Of course after understanding the heroine of the poetry, the reader is easy to know that she is a free movement warrior, she and Yeats has the common ideal and pursuit, that is the struggle for the liberation of Ireland. What’s more, Yeats is also a poet who possesses mysticism, romantic and aestheticism. At this time, the stream of love as if the flood in the valley, fast but still lonely. The thinking of the love is awakening slowly in the memory, facing so crazy profession, she should joy or grieveThis poem is deepened in the final section. “And bending down beside the glowing bars, murmur, a little sadly”,the shaking fire shines upon the withered appearance; the screen is vague with light and shade, sothat readers can't help imagining the old woman’s mood.

At this time, the emotional stream has come to the estuary softly, going to the ocean, and sinking into the deep end, whose surface is calm. The monologue, endless miles of faithful attitude, endless grievance and injustice of the poet, these all return to the silent waiting in real life. Finally, the love as if the lofty and cold stars on the top, which have the insurmountable distance, but never fails to stare at her. Such enduring love may puzzle thereaders, they still need to pack up their heart again and return to the reason reluctantly.

This poem was written by William Butler Yeats for his infant daughter, Anne. He worries about her. Maud Gonne was a radical, opinionated intelligent woman he had loved, but who had rejected his proposals. In this poem he vents his thoughts on her. Georgie Hyde Lees was his wife. ng, 4 UtaridA Prayer for my Daughter by W.B. Yeats: An Analysis by Claire WoStanza 1: The weather is a reflection of Yeats’ feelings. The post-war period was dangerous. Anne’s vulnerability and innocence is symbolised by the “cr adle-hood” and “coverlid.”“And half hid” shows that Anne is barely protected by the frail “coverlid.”Anne is oblivious to the violent forces around her; she is ignorant (she “sleeps on”; she is not awake to the violence around her), hence she is “under this cradle-hood” which hides her and is unaffected. (The forces may be riots, violence, starvation, or decay of moral values.) “Under this cradlehood and coverlid/My child sleeps on.” Her ignorance protects her from the uneasy knowledge hence she “sleeps on.”Robert Gregory died. His father could not protect him from death.“The roof-levelling wind” is strong, representing frightening, turbulent forces.“Where by the haystack- and roof-levelling wind,/Bred on the Atlantic, can be stayed.” USA was more comfortable compared to Europe. Turbulent forces or “wind” was less significant and more controlled in the USA. Hence it ca be “stayed” or controlled.Yeats prays because he is gloomy; “great gloom …. In my mind.”Tone: Frightening, precarious, gloomy.Literary devices: personification –“the storm is howling” represents threatening external forces e.g. riots, evilness.Roof-levelling wind represents turbulent forces.Symbols - “Storm” represents outside forces which threaten Anne’s safety.“cradlehood” represents Anne’s innocence and infancy.“coverlid” represents innocence and ignorance, frail protection.“wind” represents turbulent forces.“one bare hill” may represent Robert’s death. (Why is the hill bare? Replies are appreciated.) The hill is empty, it may represent his death – there is no one to occupy it. Or it may be a hill where his tombstone lies. As I have said, I have no idea.Metonym - The author may be mistaken but “Atlantic” may be the United States of America.Rhyme scheme: aabbcddcS tanza 2: Yeats is worried about Anne. “I have walked and prayed for this young child an hour.” The weather reflects the threatening forces he fears.“Flooded stream” represents intense forces caused by people as it has strong forces. It is “flooded” because the troublemakers exist in large numbers or the forces are strong. The weather or external forces caused by the war are stormy and destructive. Th e “elms” are tossed due to the destructive forces. People (possibly represented by “elms”) are affected.Tone : intense, anxious, frenetic, chaotic.This is rather desperate and pessimistic but there is a shift of mood. “Imagining …” When Yeats starts to imagine, he helps his daughter; he decides how she should turn out. This appeases his worries and gives him new ideas and food for thought. He imagines how her future will be excitedly.“Imagining…the future years had come/Dancing to a frenzied drum.” Anne’s life will pass in chaos. “Dancing to a frenzied drum” also indicates the passing years in Anne’s life which are represented by drum-beats (which have rhythm and tempo) – which also symbolize violence and chaos.It is a violent and chaotic time. The drum is “frenzied” because of the danger and chaos around Anne. Furthermore, Yeats is excited (hence frenzied) for her to grow up.Anne’s innocence is juxtaposed with the contrasting “sea” which is “murderous.” The sea represents the world and the crowds around her, and as they are evil, destructive and take advantage of her innocence, they are “murderous.” Mo re over, the “sea” or the world is termed as “murderous innocence” because as part of the “sea”, Anne’s innocence is ‘murderous’ to herself because it enables others to manipulate her.Tone: frenetic, maddening, excited.Literary devices: symbols - “sea wind” , “flooded stream” – turbulent forcesPersonification - “future years … dancing” - the passing years of lifeJuxtaposition/oxymoron/paradox –“murderous innocence of the sea”Sibilance –“sea-wind scream”Assonance:” sea-wind scream”Onomatopoeia –“scream”Stanza 3: Yeats hopes that Anne will be beautiful but not excessively. “May she be granted beauty and yet not/Beauty to make a stranger’s eye distraught.” Beauty is distracting and destructive,because it causes an admirer to be “distraught” and u nhappy as a result of this unfulfilled desire to possess this beauty. Besides, he may desire her negatively and steal her innocence. It inspires passion which may be hopeless. She should not be vain and conceited of her beauty. “Or hers before a looking-glass.) Yeats fears that beauty will make her think that it is sufficient, for beauty would help her. Beautiful people being more attractive can benefit more, and with this attribute, Anne may think that she needs not perform acts of goodness, for her beauty is sufficient to place her in a position of security and acceptance. This causes her to lose “natural kindness”. She does not see or appreciate the values of kindness and virtue. She would think herself superior and strive less without helping others. They do not have to be kind and despise the physically undesirable. Furthermore, their beauty allows them to be fastidious in their choice of partners, having many admirers. Hence, they do not choose the right person as they have no heart or soul. “Lose … the heart-revealing intimacy/ That chooses right.” They cannot love truly and care for veneer and shallow qualities, for they cannot truly feel or know who “the one” is. They are sought for. The right person would in the end be more drawn to a good woman as s hown in stanza 5. “Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned.”Beauty obstructs friendship as being beautiful causes one to be condescending, malicious and take things for granted. It causes the loss of human touch for the beautiful may tend to boast and despise their inferiors. They are not true friends. In another perspective, they do not form true friendships because others befriend them for the benefits derived from their appearance and even take advantage of them. The beautiful do not pay attention to those who make true friends as they believe themselves superior in beauty, fashion, etc. etc. Furthermore, excessive beauty results in jealousy and broken friendships. Another point to make is that beauty that over-entices may decrease Anne’s vir tue and increase her vulnerability as others wish to use her. This is crucial as in this poem, Yeats emphasizes the need for feminine innocence.In contrast, a plainer person being on a lower hierarchy will appreciate the importance of kindness. In this c ontext, beauty is equated with society’s shallowness.Tone: imploring, beseeching, prayer-like, reflective.Literary devices: personification - “stranger’s eye distraught” - attracts and saddens one who is attractedSymbol - the “stranger” is an unhappy admirer.Alliteration - “stranger’s eye distraught”.Stanza 4 : Yeats speaks of Greek mythology. Helen of Troy, being the most beautiful woman in the world, married Paris, a stupid man. Quote: “Helen being chosen found life flat and dull / And later had much trouble from a fool.” As she was greatly admired and revered for her beauty, life was boring with little strife.“While that great queen, that rose out of the spray, ‘bei ng fatherless could have her way/ Yet chose a bandy-legged smith for man.” Venus or Aphrodite, being fatherless, could marry as she pleasedwith no parental authority. Yet with all her power and advantages “chose a bandy-legged smith for man” (Hephaestus) –someone inferior to her. She had no father to guide her. Yeats intends to guide his daughter in the choice of a suitable spouse. Yeats is scornful: cultured women make mad choices in spouses. “Fine women eat/ A crazy salad with their meat.” Meat is substantial; salad is not. Meat represents a fine lady who can be said to be “substantial,” having numerous qualities; the “crazy salad” is their dreadful mate, who is devoid of many qualities. They can have more, but choose worse.The Horn of Plenty was a horn given by Zeus to his caretaker. The possessor of this Horn would be granted his wishes.“Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.” This is because Maud Gonne squandered her gifts of intellect, grace and beauty and the benefits she could command by marrying John McBride. She could obtain what she desired with these gifts – similar to the Horn of Plenty – and wasted the aforementioned gifts on McBride. As the Horn of Plenty could bring victuals, John McBride is symbolized as an unsubstantial “salad.” Maud Gonne wasted her supposed power; she could have done better for herself, instead she made the wrong choice or desire.Tone: cynical, sad, troubled, scornful.Literary devices: symbol - “Helen”, “Queen” – a beautiful cultured woman or Maud Gonne “Horn of plenty” - gifts, advantages.Metaphor - “crazy salad” – an inferior spouse.Stanza 5: Yeats wants Anne to be courteous. Love does not come freely and unconditionally. “Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned.” Love is not inspired by mere physical beauty; it is earned by good efforts “by those who are not entirely beautiful” wh o are kind and helpful. Those who have in stupidity made a fool of themselves by hopelessly loving beautiful women and thought it was reciprocated. “Yet many, tat have played the fool/ For beauty’s very self.” One may not be loved by a beautiful woman. ““Charm” from a good woman has charmed a man eventually. “has charm made wise.” He becomes “wise” by realizing the goodness of loving a good woman.Unsuccessful men have loved and are loved by kind women who make them happy, yet are not beautiful. “Loved and thought himself beloved/ From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.” She “cannot take his eyes” or maptivate him by sight because she is not physically beautiful. But her kindness makes him glad. This could be a reference to Yeats’ wife, Georgie Hyde Lees who was not beautiful, but they had a happy marriage. Georgie loved him and let him take the credit for her work. The persona praises good unbeautiful women – like Georgie – who re more loved by men compared to harsh beautiful ones – Maud Gonne.Tome: reflective, advisory, grateful, enlightened.Literary devices: personification - “glad kindness cannot take his eys”“charm made wise.”Symbol - “hearts” – love.Yeats in 1919. This poem is a pray-like poem. And it generally tells about the poet's ideas about his daughter who is sleeping at the same time while the poem is being told. Throughout the poem the Yeats reflects that how he wants his daughter's future should be. This essay will analyze the poem under three subtitle: 1- What does this poem mean", 2- The poetic devices, imagery, rhyming, figures of speech, used in the poem and mood, diction, language, and the structure of the poem, 3- An essay in a feminist point of view titled "What does the poet want his daughter to become"" .-WHAT DOES THIS POEM MEAN"The poet is watching his infant daughter sleep. In the first stanza he starts with describing the setting of the poem. It is stormy outside, there is a kind of dark and gloomy weather and he prays for her. And he says that he has gloom in his mind and we will understand that what gloom is that in his mind.In the second stanza the poet describes the things while he was praying for his daughter. He walks for an hour and notices the "sea-wind scream upon the tower", "under the arches of the bridge", "in the elms above the flooded stream." They probably represent the dreaming of the human beings and they are decisive. They are all about the present things and they block people from thinking about the future events. The last four lines of the second stanza clearly explain this idea: "Imagining in excited reverieThat the future years had come,Dancing to a frenzied drum,Out of the murderous innocence of the sea."In the third stanza he prays for her beauty, but not too much. He considers the beauty as a decisive element for choosing the right person to marry. He emphasizes that too much beauty may cause her loose the "natural kindness" thus that might prevent her from finding the "heart-revealing intimacy" and a true friend.Related with the third stanza, the fourth stanza refers to Helen herself, who "being chosen found life flat and dull," and also to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who chose her spouse the cripple, Hephaestus. Helen "had much trouble from a fool", the fool is Menelaus, the husband of Helen, whom she deserted in favor of Paris. Whereas Aphrodite suffered from "being fatherless", hence without a father to guide her, Yeats intends to be a guiding father to his young daughter.The fifth stanza describes the quality that Yeats came to see as at the very heart of civilized life: courtesy. By courtesy he understands a means of being in the world that would protect the best of human dignity, art and emotion. And in his prayer for his daughter he wishes that she will learn to survive with grace and dignity in a world turned horrific. He explains that many men have hopelessly loved beautiful women, and they thought that the women loved them as well but they did not.In the sixth stanza he hopes that his daughter will be a "flourishing hidden tree", which is not rebel but kind and happy, but contains her happiness within a particular place. And additionally he wants his daughter to be not argumentative and aggressive, or perhaps quite and secure, "rooted in one dear perpetual place." When combined with the previous line, the last line clearly defines hishope fro daughter to live in a victorious life "like a green laurel." And the linnet also represents that he wants her thoughts to be a guide for a good life for her and her life to be in a good fate.In the seventh stanza he tells about himself a little bit, and we can conclude that he also suffered from love and beauty, but he also emphasize that hatred is drying and destructive. Thus he asserts that hatred is the worst response one can have in the world. He hopes that his daughter will not have such strong opinions which are the forms of hatred.Then he implies that "an intellectual hatred" is the worst of hatreds. In this stanza he uses an image "Plenty's horn." It symbolizes the source of the rich gifts that will be given, served to his daughter. This part of the poem also accuses "the loveliest woman", Maud Gonne, because of not using properly the gifts given to her and he hopes that her daughter will use them well and wisely. Ninth stanza serves the ideas of Yeats about hatred and recovering of the world. He supports that a woman can heal herself by getting away from hatred and also the world can be purified by avoiding from hatred and diversions. Thus we can recover the innocence and we can "be happy still."In the conclusion stanza he hopes her daughter to be married in ceremony, of which source is the "horn" again. He uses the ceremony to symbolize the richness of the horn and the power of the "laurel tree."2.1- POETIC DEVICESOnomatopoeia (the use of words that sound like the thing that they are describing) - howling, scream, spray, choke, scowl, howlRepetition (saying the same thing many times) - in the ninth stanza: self-appeasing, self-delighting, and self-affrightingAlliteration (the use of several words together that begin with the same sound or letter in order to make a special effect) - howling, and half hid, cradle-hood and coverlid, great gloom, sea-wind scream, being made beautiful, like the linnet, live like, linnet from the leaf, hatred driven hence, recovers radical, bellows burst, bridegroom bring, find a friendAssonance (similarity in the vowel sounds of words that are close together in a poem)- walked and prayed, young-hour, such-overmuch, trouble- fool, with-meat, yet-that-played, beauty-very, poor-roved, loved-thought-beloved, hidden-tree, dried-late, linnet-leaf, should-scowl, quarter-bowl, hatred-wares, spreading laurel tree.2.2- FIGURES OF SPEECHMetaphor- Ceremony is used for the Plenty's horn, custom is used for the spreading laurel tree, linnet is used for good faith, and laurel is used for having a victorious lifePersonification- Sea-wind scream-human being, years...dancing-human being, frenzied drum- human being, angry wind- human being,Simile- "all her thoughts may like the linnet be", "may she live like some green laurel" Juxtaposition- "murderous innocence"Imagery- The "storm" is representing the dangerous outside forces, may be the future that she will encounter with soon. The "cradle" is representing his daughter's babyhood. The sea is the source of the wind and logically is the source of "future years" as well. The "murderous innocence" is attributed to the sea and represents poet's daughter and the outside world which waits for her. He uses the imagery "dried" for his mind to explain how the bad ideas are rooted in his mind. And also he uses the "horn" as ceremony and the "tree" as custom.2.3- LANGUAGE, DICTION, MOOD, STRUCTUREThe language used in the poem is like the language used in lectures and also prayer. The word "may" gives to the poem a pray-like mood.The narrator is the poet's himself, and he tells the poem quite personal. He uses "I", "she", "my daughter" to make it personalize.The moods of the stanzas are different than the others. But the first stanza has a frightening atmosphere. In the second stanza he is anxious about what will future bring to her, the third one has the same mood but in here he is careful. In the next one he uses classical mythology to express his obsessions. The fifth one is a little bit more confident and hopeful. The sixth one is more cautious and has a negative mood. The seventh is self aware, strong and kind of regretful. And the last three stanzas are written in a happy mood and have hopefulness.The structure of the poem is not complex to analyze. It has 10 stanzas and eight lines each. It was written in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is aabbcddc, and the rhythm is regular.3- WHAT DOES THE POET WANT HIS DAUGHTER TO BECOME"The poem is about William Butler Yeats ideas, and his anxiety about his baby daughter's future and life. He wants his daughter to become a woman who is virtuous, wise.He uses the image of his daughter partly to represent his ideal woman. Most of the images that he uses are parts of the ideal woman he has in his mind or its opposites. He supports that a woman should be "a flourishing hidden tree", who is not well-known but beautiful. She shouldn't be anything but "merry." "Innocence" is beautiful in women, that's why if his daughter keeps her innocence inside and do not abuse it, she will not be affected by the "wind." He thinks that too much beauty distorts women, and causes them to destroy the gifts that are given by "Horn of Plenty" thus he wants his daughter to use the gifts wisely and properly. And he wants his daughter to learn the fact that "hearts are earned", and the men, who are deceived by just beauty, will notice their mistake later. He wants her daughter not to have strong opinions like hatred, because he thinks that hatred is the worst thing in the world. He hopes she will marry, and her house will be full of customs.。
