JOSIE'S POEMS
DOWN BY THE SALLEY GARDENS
By William Butler Yeats
DOWN BY THE
SALLEY GARDENS
By William Butler Yeats
Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the Salley Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
Now see my 'shadow' of this great poem, using both the metre
and the subject: By the Waterfalls of Ilkley
