To a Child Dancing Upon the Shore

To a Child Dancing Upon the Shore
By William Butler Yeats

 Dance there upon the shore;
 What need have you to care
 For wind or water's roar?
 And tumble out your hair
 That the salt drops have wet;
 Being young you have not known
 The fool's triumph, nor yet
 Love lost as soon as won.
 And he, the best warrior, dead
 And all the sheaves to bind!
 What need that you should dread
 The monstrous crying of wind?
