When Was This Poem Written:

[SolOscura]

Hey Everyone,

I need to know when the poem entitled "Death" was written by William Butler Yeats.

That would make it so much easier for me to accurately sift through his biography and find out what he was experiencing at the time.

Here is the poem for all interested:


Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death.



Thank you,
SolOscura.
