Explore "In the Firelight" by W.B. Yeats on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Come and dream of kings and kingdoms, / Cooking chestnuts on the bars --
Round us the white roads are endless, / Mournful under mournful stars.
Whisper lest we too may sadden, / Round us herds of shadows steal --
Care not if beyond the shadows / Flieth Fortune's furious wheel.
Kingdoms rising, kingdoms falling, / Bowing nations, plumèd wars --
Weigh them in an hour of dreaming, / Cooking chestnuts on the bars.
