		His other early poems are lyrics on the themes of love or mystical and esoteric subjects.
		Modernists read the well-known poem The Second Coming as a dirge for the decline of European civilization in the mode of Eliot, but later critics have pointed out that this poem is an expression of Yeats' apocalyptic mystical theories, and thus the expression of a mind shaped by the 1890s.
		His poem, "The Second Coming" is one of the most potent sources of imagery about the 20th century.

		Together with Lady Gregory and Martyn and other writers including John M. Synge, Sean O'Casey, Padraic Colum and James Stephens, Yeats was one of those responsible for the establishment of the literary movement known as the Irish Literary Revival (otherwise known as the Celtic Revival).
		This poem is an attack on the Dublin employers who were involved in the famous 1913 lockout of workers who supported James Larkin's attempts to organise the Irish labour movement.
		In Easter 1916, with its equally famous 'All changed, changed utterly:/A terrible beauty is born.' refrain, Yeats faces his own failure to recognise the merits of the leaders of the Easter Rising because of their apparently humble backgrounds and lives.

		William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was born in Sligo, the elder son of J. and brother of Jack Yeats.
		Yeats's early poetry, included in collections such as The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems (1889), The Land of Heart's Desire (1894), and The Wind Among the Reeds (1894), was formed from his knowledge of Irish folklore and folktales, and his interest in mysticism and the occult.
		Many poems of the 1920s and 1930s are economical and even austere in diction, and sharply imagistic; the dreamy cadences of the earlier work had given way to colloquial and unexpected rhythms, though Yeats could still produce beauty of unsurpassed lyricism.

		Between the Celtic dreams of THE WANDERINGS OF OISIN (1889) and the intellectual, often obscure poetry of the 1930s; Yeats produced a tremendous amount of work.
		The change from suggestive, beautiful lyricism toward spare and tragic bitterness is marked in Yeats poem 'September 1913' in which he states: "Romantic Ireland's dead and gone." During the civil war Irish Free State soldiers burned many of Yeats's letters to Maud Gonne when they raided her house.
		The tone of the work is reflective, almost conversational, and deals with matters of youth and age, the effects of time, registering the death of Robert Gregory, Lady Gregory's son and Mabel Beardley, sister of the English artist Aubrey Beardsley.

		This paper examines the use of magic, myth, and folklore in the poetry of W.B. Yeats, specifically in his book, "The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems".
		These poems often have a mystical, slow-paced, and lyrical style and quality.
		Among the best-known poems of the period are "Falling of Leaves," "When You Are Old," and particularly, "The Lake Isle of Innisfree." The last poem is one of the few that continues to be popular in the contemporary Irish and modernist canon, perhaps because of its greater emphasis on internal, rather than external concerns.
