This is a volume of Mr. Yeats’ lyrical poems, and will be followed in the spring by a second containing his dramas. Here are to be found “Ballads and lyrics,” “The wanderings of Oisin,” “The rose,” “The wind among the reeds,” “In seven woods,” “The old age of Queen Meave,” and “Baile and Aillinn.”
“Not all Mr. Yeats’s gifts of music and Celtic magic avail to make the volume other than a little tedious.” Ferris Greenslet.

“It seems doubtful whether in the mass Mr. Yeats’ lyrical poetry can be appreciated save by a cult or will be remembered save by the curious. Yet there are fine things in the volume.”
