About the Poet
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish nationalist. He was educated in
London and Dublin, and was interested in folklore and mythology. He won the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
W.B. Yeats has tried to touch a very important topic through his poem. He says
that it is almost impossible to find a person in your life who loves you truly. By
saying truly, he means the one who loves you for your qualities and not your
looks. He says that only God loves us for what we are from inside.
