Prayer for My Daughter by W.B Yeats

Prayer for My Daughter by W.B Yeats 




A Prayer for my Daughter" is a poem by William Butler Yeats written in 1919 and published in 1921 as part of Yeats' collection Michael Robartes and the Dancer. It is written to Anne, his daughter with Georgie Hyde Lees, whom Yeats married after his last marriage proposal to Maud Gone was rejected in 1916.

William Butler Yeats, my daughter's prayers, sleeps in a cradle with a newborn baby's image. A storm is provoked by an outburst of anger and so she worries about worrying about her child being saved from the next difficult time. They are sad and concerned about the future of their daughter.

He says, "As I'm walking and praying for my little daughter, I am convincing in the state of enthusiasm and enthusiasm" that future years have already come and it seems to be dancing on the side of the drum who weighs tediously . These future years are seen by Yates's imagination arising out of innocent innocents of the sea. In other words, the sea looks innocent but it is able to give birth to boring storms that are capable of destroying something.

Yates wants his daughter to have some qualities, so that she can face the future. Yeats says she makes her beautiful, but she is not so much as she feels proud and deluded by others. Those who are capable of glorifying their beauty believe in beauty. The result is that pride leads to their false natural pity. Choosing the right choices in life is a very important thing, but those who are over-beauty can not be able to do this and can never find a good friend in the true sense of the world. The great thing about poetry is that it has a specific and common utility. At the same time, poetry gives indirect references to Maud Go, whom Yeats loves very much and still can not win his hand.

The poet sees within himself and finds that there is hate inside. She thinks hatred kills innocence and desires that her daughter should not be hated. Maud Gone was married to a foolish person, because of this unhealthy attitude of the mind. The poet expressed the desire that his daughter should not create foolish intelligence; She thinks that if she is free from hatred and intellectual rituals, her daughter can remain innocent. Innocent suicide, self-reliant and self-confident. The poet's last wish is that his son should marry the family of the family who takes him home where the tradition and ceremony fills the atmosphere.

After all, the poem is a prayer for grace and grace in cruel civilization. Behind the prayer, Yeats' Maud Gone is a bitter memory of Gone, who, for the sake of politics, intellectual hatred and pride, can distort beauty and grace, for the tragedy.
