    Poetry Commentary: The Wild Swans at Coole by Yeats The Wild Swans at Coole by William Butler Yeats is‚ as the title suggests‚ a poem about a flock of Swans inhabiting the lake at Augusta Gregory ’s Coole Park residence.

Yet they were of a different kind‚ The names that stilled your childish play‚ They have gone about the world like wind‚ But little time had they to pray For whom the hangman’s rope was spun‚ And what‚ God help
