The Green Helmet and Other Poems

by William Butler Yeats

Overview

The Green Helmet and Other Poems is a classic Irish poetry collection by William Butler Yeats. I swayed upon the gaudy stern The butt end of a steering oar, And everywhere that I could turn Men ran upon the shore. And though I would have hushed the crowd There was no mother's son but said, "What is the figure in a shroud Upon a gaudy bed?"
