Which poems by W.B. Yeats would you recommend that would show how The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has affected his works?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

According to Wikipedia, Yeats was a member of the Golden Dawn from 1885 to 1901ish. He published a pamphlet in 1901 called "Is the Order of R. R. & A. C. to Remain a Magical Order?"

So, any poems written between those two dates might be a good place to start, as well as finding the text of the pamphlet, as he may have put a poem or two in it and Yeats may lay out his beliefs in the pamphlet which might give you something to use.
