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.
